WATERCOLOR / ILLUSTRATION
CALIFORNIA · EVERYWHERE ELSE · WATERCOLOR ARTIST
A free-spirited watercolor artist floating between California and the rest of the world, creating surreal and whimsical worlds wherever life happens to take her.
Angie Samblotte spent years living and making art on Oahu before carrying that island rhythm with her into the next chapter.
These days, she is floating between California and the rest of the world, following fresh experiences, unfamiliar places and whatever feels worth painting next.
Angie’s insatiable curiosity keeps her searching for fresh experiences, unfamiliar perspectives and new reasons to make something.
Each experience becomes another color, shape or strange little possibility waiting to enter her work.
Surfing is part of the rhythm behind Angie’s creative life, connecting movement, intuition and time spent fully inside the present moment.
The ocean’s shifting forms and unpredictable energy naturally find their way into her surreal watercolor illustrations.
ONE MORE WAVE. THEN MAYBE PAINT.
Angie’s illustrations combine dreamlike imagery with a playful sense of possibility.
The familiar becomes slightly strange, the impossible feels almost believable and ordinary rules are politely asked to wait outside.
Angie creates her watercolor illustrations by hand, allowing the movement of pigment and water to remain visible within each piece.
The process requires attention, patience and a willingness to work with whatever the materials decide to do next.
Angie approaches art and life through intuition, curiosity and a willingness to follow what feels true.
Working by hand anchors her in the moment, which remains one of her favorite places to create from.
