Angelika Parker’s love of nature goes beyond a simple fondness of leaves and trees. When Angelika takes a stroll in the park, she analyzes each pattern and texture of everything she comes into contact with—a fascination that clearly inspires her illustration. Growing up in a small farm town in Bavaria, Germany, Angelika was always surrounded by nature and animals. Now, living in Fort Eustis, VA, Angelika creates her illustrations inspired by the minute details of her environment.
