Angelique Gillespie

Angelique Mari Gillespie updates her Visual Communication Diploma to a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 2000. In 1998 Angelique won a Memorial Mural competition for two young dancers, Jaimie Hill and Tammy Lynn Powers. This experience encouraged her to move from watercolour landscapes into her passionate acrylic figures. As an Austrailian artist with a rich background in Engineering Drafting, Illustrative Quilting, Comercial Art and Medicval illustration, Angelique uses many of these elements within her whimsical decorative figure or landscape work. In 2001 she received The Calgary Immigrant of Distinction Award for her work in the Arts and Culture scene in Calgary.
Angelique Mari is a gifted art teacher inspiring others to find their authentic self through the arts. She taught over 17 years Continuing Education Classes at ACAD, Art Programs at the Epcor Center for Performing Arts and as an artist in resident at the CBE Schools. Angelique still teaches level 1 and 2 acrylic painting with the University of Calgary; and is a snignature member of the Alberta Society of Artist, The Federation of Canadian Artists and in The Artist Cirlce at the Triangle Gallery in Calgary.
