Anjelica Colliard is an Oakland-based artist whose work invites you into lush, plant-filled worlds that feel equal parts dreamy and deeply alive. With a BFA from UC Berkeley, she works across a rich range of mediums -- painting, drawing, textiles, ceramics, and printmaking -- weaving together color, shape, and texture to create images that are as soothing as they are visually captivating.
At the heart of Anjelica's practice is a lifelong love of mark-making and a deep connection to the natural world. Her large-scale mixed media works layer airbrushed watercolor, soft pastel, crayon, and oil pastel to build up soft, surreal environments where fleshy, life-sized figures invite viewers to step in and imagine themselves there. Her art is rooted in intuition, wonder, and a genuine desire to dream up worlds free from harm -- spaces that nurture the spirit and inspire a collective sense of possibility!
