All About Archaeology and Art by Angela Micol
I started creating resin art in the winter of 2019 and my making intensified in spring of 2020 during the onset of the COVID19 pandemic. I found it to be so helpful to relieve stress and keep myself grounded. I didn't start out making archaeological art to begin with, but decided to take my love of satellite imagery and tell a story with resin. I love the sparkle, the fluidity, and all the wonderful colors of mica powder.

I have my BA in Architectural design from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and I've been creating digital art and photography since the 1990s.
​
My love of archaeology started at the age of 8 years old and I began to research ancient Egypt after having many strange experiences involving the pyramids. In the late 1990s I began searching for lost ruins from space using declassified satellite images. The search intensified while my mother was going through cancer treatments and I stumbled upon a potential lost ruin site in Egypt. Years later the story went viral about the Abu Sidhum site in 2012. Eventually, I am hoping the Egyptian government will show interest in the site and get to the truth.
​
Art has been an amazing healing adventure for me which has taken me back to my childhood and helped me to see the world in a new light.
​
I hope you enjoy my art and remember to find your happiness!
