Marine Biologist and Freelance Artist

Artist, Scientist, and Nerd
Why Hello there! My name is Angelica Anglero and I am a young artist living in New Jersey. My favorite hobbies include playing video games, cooking/baking, and watching bad horror movies! I studied environmental and marine science at Stockton University for 3.5 years and completed a bachelors of science degree. Throughout my career as a scientist, I've seen countless amazing creatures. Many of which people have no idea even exist. So as a scientist and an artist, I bring these organisms to life on paper. My work is primarily watercolor paintings or digital illustrations of creatures, many of which aren't traditionally considered beautiful or charismatic.
​
For my creation process, I first think of animal(s) to use as my subject and research information about them. I get much of my inspiration from scientific illustrations and nature photography. After creating a doodle draft of my idea, I freehand my design on watercolor paper via pencil, or boot up my Procreate app on iPad for digital work.
