ABOUT THE ARTIST
Angelica Kempa is an artist, illustrator, and writer based in Long Island and New York City. She draws inspiration from her mother’s garden, the 2000s Queens alternative scene, the many comics and manga she has read, Harajuku fashion, The Simpsons, her dreams, urban legends, and the countless video games she has played. Her work is designed to capture attention and make the viewer think.
Angelica’s artwork has been displayed at Guild Hall of East Hampton, Mills Pond Gallery, North Bellmore Library, and Long Island Aquarium. She has also held private gallery events with other artists and created tattoo designs and stickers featuring her work. Her writing has been published in various publications; she has won a few awards, and she self-published a poetry book called Pacemakers & Glimmers of Hope.
Outside of her artwork, she is a mother and wife. She enjoys journaling, putting together outfits, cooking, exploring vitamins and wellness, reading, and playing video games (especially Animal Crossing).
