Many, many times, I have seen people just stand there with tears in their eyes admiring my work. What more could a creative person wish for?"

Historical
As a young child in England, Angie spent her most enjoyable days in the colourful gardens of the rural English countryside and she still smiles as she remembers the profound effect they had on her senses, her life and its creative direction.In the early 60s, Angie emigrated to Canada, where she now lives and paints in the beautiful and historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. This idyllic setting is the backdrop for her home, a lovingly restored Victorian farmhouse, and her English perennial gardens.
Set amongst the wildflowers is Angie's art studio, and it's there in this private retreat that she can immerse herself in her own "creative" world, surrounded by nature as her inspiration.
Truly a "renaissance" person, Angie Strauss is a successful artist and fashion designer, an inspiring public speaker and charitable fund-raiser, as well as the recipient of numerous awards, including Entrepreneur of the Year and Niagara's prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.
