Artist Highlight
Angela befriended our family a little bit after we started Trolley Depot Coffee and Tea. Not only have two of her daughters worked with us, but she has grown into an invaluable resource as we’ve built the brand.
Angela has drawn or painted all of our logos, and illustrations for The Wired Rabbit. I remember sitting down with her and expaining the story of ‘The Rabbit’ and describing in detail how I saw him in my head-the only problem is that I (joy) lack any tangible artistic ability. I can think it, but I cannot do it.
Not a week later, she sent me the sketch of the rabbit and I almost cried! It was like meeting an old friend on paper—I then asked her if she could make him “real” and our rabbit portrait was born-she used my son’s pet rabbit as inspiration and wove into our brand a tangible piece of life for us. Then again, she did the sketch of galena shop, and I had an idea for a mural and P**F!!
She did it exactly how my mind saw it, then a sketch of Cuba City and building sign...
There has yet to be an artistic challenge she hasn’t been able to do!
On top of ALL that, Angela has been doing all our photography and now she is content creating & managing all our socials for us!
So shout out to all the creative souls, but especially to Angela-who use their gifts to beautify the world around them!
-Joy
