Artist Angie Sellars grew up in the foothills of the Bull Mountains near Roundup, Montana, USA. Her creativity and imagination were fed by endless days of playing in the backwoods and when it was too cold to be outside, her time was spent drawing.
She received several awards throughout highschool for various art work, including scholarships to Montana State University Bozeman, which she attended for a year before transferring to Montana State University Billings. She majored in Art Education, focusing on watercolor and later worked in oil.
Throughout the years of raising a family, she has continued to pursue her love and passion for art, whether it be doodling with her children or endless late nights painting while babies slept. Angie has volunteered with several art school projects in her community, and she and her sister opened a store featuring their art work and homemade jewelry. She has painted and drawn from many subjects, ever evolving as life does. She has worked in pencil, charcoal, pastel, watercolors, oil painting, and acrylic and has painted on everything from canvas's, feathers, mailboxes, to murals. She has had work published on the cover of Rocky Mountain Rider Magazine.
Angie has participated in several art shows and groups, including Roundup Memorial Hospital and Clinic, Roswell Fine Arts League, Yellowstone Art Museum Art Auction, Montana State Fair, several Motorcycle rallies, and various other local businesses. She has donated several peices for various fund raisers for her local nursing home to donated feathers for fallen soldiers' families. This year, she and her sister hosted a local Art Walk in their hometown of Roundup Montana during the Fourth of July activites, which they plan on growing and expanding in the upcoming years. They also are doing projects such as a "Paint in the Park", encouraging others in the community to be involved in the Arts.
For the last couple of years, she has been working with acrylic painting on feathers found locally in her native state of Montana. Subjects range from local wildlife to commemoritive feathers for fallen soldiers. She also love to continue painting on canvas and some multi media, where she has more room for creating dreamlike, surreal images... she calls these her "Me pictures". With each peice Angie creates, she strives to "tickle your soul" with her work... to reach in, to let the viewer feel, believe, experience her work.
