Angelita Hawke is particularly drawn to the work of Impressionist artists, finding that the Impressionist style offers a greater freedom to express emotional connection to a subject rather than adhering strictly to realistic representation. Her passion for art began in childhood, nurtured by her mother who introduced her to various artistic forms including painting, pottery, and sculpture. Nature walks and creative exploration during her early years left a lasting impact, and her paintings are often inspired by the memories and experiences of her upbringing.
