To embrace an enemy is to overcome it; within the playful and spontaneous brush strokes of Angela Canada Hopkins lays a colorful conquest of cancerous matter.  After loosing her father to cancer in her last year of art school--June 2001--the bittersweet and therapeutic irony began to spill out onto the canvas.  Angela uses a pure and lively incorporation of acrylic on canvas to create galaxies of basic fatal structures studied on a microscopic level.

Angela Canada Hopkins works in a non-traditional manner, originally forming these metastasizing expressions out of intuition and the study of photographs of cancerous cells.  She then moves on with the work in order to build momentum as it collects and grows like a rolling snowball.  An ability to render spontaneous impulse into a final collaboration with a philosophical voice is what makes the work of Angela Canada Hopkins truthfully distinctive.
