By Angeline Kyba
Painted in September 2021

Painting in Mexico for almost 20 years, Angie is affectionately known in Puerto Vallarta as “the only Canadian woman who is more Mexican than the Mexicans themselves.” Always a seeker of a people, a place, and a home, Kyba has found in Mexico a people who embraced her, a place to paint, and a home. With studios in Canada and Mexico, she now enjoys working in two countries. Angie’s work was recently accepted into the prestigious international Quinta Bienal de Monterrey. Her portrait, Carmen, was used in the National Geographic/ Hampton Brown publication, Edge, and has just begun its second printing.
