Elephants and Hills

Angela Chidgey was born in London in 1942 and trained at Kingston and Putney Schools of Art.First Exhibition in 1979 at Baskett and Day in Bond Street followed by many more in various places. Angela has also designed wine list covers, tapestries, fabrics; ceramics and illustrated two books. She has also painted the walls in every house she has lived in! In 1976 she discovered the light and landscape of Italy and now lives near Siena surrounded by olive trees and access to a good cappuccino.The other major influence on her work has been Africa. From the first visit in 1986 and for every year since then Africa has bitten deep into her soul. Angela sees the Elephant and its matriarchal way of life as a role model to emulate and finds the poaching and culling of elephants as a needless slaughter.

This Exhibition is to raise awareness (yet again) of the wonders of the Elephant and to raise money for desperately needed RADIO COLLARS to help save their migratory routes.
