Biography

Angela Verren was born in Hampstead, a part of north London, in 1930. She went to college at King's College, London to study.

Angela loved to paint and sketch for many years. She found inspiration in different places, both in Britain and abroad. She traveled to beautiful areas like Tuscany in Italy and Greece. Her artwork was shown in special exhibitions in London and Cambridge. Her paintings often showed shapes and ideas taken from nature, but in an interesting, abstract way. This means she used shapes and colors to show feelings or ideas, rather than just drawing things exactly as they look.

After she married Derek Taunt, a mathematician from Cambridge, and raised her three children, Angela started painting and showing her art again.

In 1970, she met another famous artist named Ben Nicholson. He became a very close friend and had a big influence on her art. He even wrote the introduction for her solo art show in London in 1978. After Ben Nicholson passed away, Angela Verren became the person in charge of the copyright for his artworks. This meant she helped protect his artistic creations.

Angela Verren passed away in 2023.
