Angela Findlay is an Anglo-German artist, public speaker, and author of In My Grandfather’s Shadow (Penguin Transworld, 2022).

Her early career teaching art in prisons shaped her interest in the intergenerational consequences of unresolved trauma. Exploring themes of crime, guilt, perpetrators, and punishment led her to interrogate her own German roots within the wider context of Germany’s post-WW2 remembrance and reconciliation.

At the heart of her practice is the belief in the Arts as a powerful means of understanding ‘the other side’ of a conflict or wrongdoing and as an alternative to cycles of punishment, shame, and silence.

Angela is an accredited Arts Society lecturer, and her paintings have been exhibited and collected both nationally and internationally.
