“Northern Art is not just limited to the gritty grind of the decaying industrial landscape… up and coming artists such as Angela Wakefield are continuing the legacy of great Northern art”
David Jupe-Blandford, Art Collector, Cumbria
“Her work is becoming extremely collectible and her subject matter strikes a strong chord with many onlookers”
Sue McAllister, Art Gallery Director, Surrey
“Angela Wakefield is a rising star of British art… I have not seen such arrangement in art since viewing paintings by Edward Hopper”
