Angela Maritz
Angela Maritz fills gaps on walls with so much more than just a "pretty picture" - art that empowers. Her work evokes your own emotions, while the lines translate into different genres which have the power to conjure up memories linked to your unique experiences and desires. Whichever the case, this magnetism within her work leads you to a greater understanding of who you are, the things you like, love and potentially the things you need, creating a strong connection to oneself, which in turn, has the ability to empower us.
Angela Maritz fills gaps on walls with so much more than just a "pretty picture" - art that empowers. If you look at her work, how does it make you feel? What thoughts are coming up for you?
“Strong, confident, joyful art to make you feel like that, live like that and love like that.”
Balancing vibrant colours and bold strokes, drawing from the harmony and unpredictability of nature, while also exploring the depth of human emotion.
Painting allows Angela to feel fully alive. Feeling alive means feeling content to feel however she feels.
Growing up in South Africa, living life in New Zealand, her family history and experiences deeply influence her style and perspective while her emotions ultimately shape her work.
It begins as hers then invites you to feel your own story within it.

She is a full time artist showcasing her work extensively throughout New Zealand and is associated with internationally recognised, reputable art fairs, exhibiting her work worldwide.
