Meet Angela Rimmer, a life of nature, light and colour.
Angela Rimmer is a light-loving abstract artist based in the vibrant seaside town of Teignmouth, Devon, UK. Known for her bold use of colour, texture, and emotion, Angela creates paintings that shimmer with mystery, movement, and meaning. Her work captures the ephemeral beauty of nature—especially the ocean—and reflects her deep interest in colour psychology, emotional wellbeing, and spiritual connection.
With a BA (Hons) and an MSc in Marketing, Angela brings together an uncommon mix of creative intuition and strategic intelligence. As a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (FCIM), she doesn’t just paint – she communicates. Her art is as much about how it feels as how it looks. Every piece is carefully crafted to evoke calm, joy, or introspection, with rich layers of acrylic, ink, gold leaf, and—on occasion—coffee. Yes, coffee. Because why not?
Angela’s distinctive abstract style is rooted in texture and light. Her impasto technique builds lush, sculptural surfaces that catch the light in different ways throughout the day. It’s almost as if each painting breathes. This attention to depth and luminosity draws collectors, curators, and casual viewers alike into a meditative visual experience that shifts with perspective—both literally and emotionally.
In 2024, her Waves Collection made a splash at Devon Open Studios at TAAG Teignmouth, delving into the dual nature of the sea: turbulent yet calming, chaotic yet beautiful. Her piece Waves II, a fan favourite, received attention for its ability to balance stormy abstraction with meditative undertones. Angela’s work has been featured in publications including Devon Life and Coast Magazine, and she’s quickly becoming one of the South West’s most exciting artistic voices.
Passionate about giving back, Angela donates a portion of her profits to local ocean conservation initiatives—making her art not only a pleasure to own, but a way to support the environment that inspires it. When she’s not in the studio, she can be found curating local pop-ups, exploring European street art, or sharing behind-the-scenes moments on her growing social media channels.
Whether she’s using traditional materials or testing out something ancient and conventional (did we mention the coffee?), Angela Rimmer continues to prove that art can be deeply personal, delightfully unpredictable, and absolutely unforgettable.
Angela Rimmer's Fantasy Cultural Year + This or That game
With a magic wand in one hand, a time machine warmed up, and a Star Trek transporter on standby, Mark sat down with artist Angela Rimmer to imagine her dream cultural year. You can watch the conversation in full above— on YouTube or Spotify or SoundCloud.
What followed was a creative, witty, and globe-trotting journey across art, nature and painting.
1. Global Art Exploration & Cultural Tour
Angela and Mark had a rich discussion about artistic preferences and travel dreams.
Angela revealed her fondness for alcoholic free beverages and the book Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert.
Angela chose to begin her journey in a Thai temple, starting with a virtual placement for a “fantasy cultural year.”
2. Travel Preferences & Music
Angela expressed her love for Thailand—particularly Koh Samui—and its local art scene.
Mark posed a hypothetical question: if Angela had to listen to one music genre for a year, she chose classical, with a twist—classical house music.
Angela also picked accommodation options in Koh Samui, curated by Mark using a time machine and magic wand.
She voiced interest in attending a dance performance, though she preferred a non-traditional Thai show, preferably on a beach, where she could also join in the dance too..
3. Performances & Future Destinations
Angela and Mark bonded over their love of Cirque du Soleil, especially the water-based show O in Las Vegas.
They also spoke about Le Reve, a water-themed performance Angela had previously enjoyed.
Looking ahead, they planned to travel to St. Lucia as their next cultural destination.
4. Sports, Virtual Reality & Cultural Immersion
Angela shared her passion for netball—founding and coaching her own not-for-profit netball club.
She hoped netball would eventually join the Olympics.
The conversation shifted to immersive experiences, imagining stepping inside Van Gogh's world via virtual reality.
They planned trips to Dubai and San Diego, lining up a diverse range of events:
A pop concert
A theatre play
A musical
An opera
A film screening
5. Cultural Favourites & Media Picks
Angela shared her cultural bucket list: she wished to see the Foo Fighters live.
For opera, she recommended Die Fledermaus, introduced to her by a neighbour, who was a performer at the Welsh National Opera.
When it came to film, she suggested Natural Born Killers, praising Juliette Lewis’s performance in the Tarantino-penned work.
6. Ideal Lunch Guests
Mark and Angela imagined hosting a dream lunch.
Angela picked Coco Chanel for her trailblazing role in fashion and business.
She imagined Coco might invite Eva Perón or Mother Teresa—both iconic female figures from turbulent times.
Mark ended the discussion by celebrating Angela’s “fantasy cultural year” and introducing a game.
“This or That” with Angela
Mark posed a series of rapid-fire questions, and Angela revealed her preferences for things like:
PC over Mac
Coffee over tea
Television over cinema
Trainers over heels
Mild food over spicy
Gold over silver
Seeing the future over reading minds
