Angela's Bio:
Angela Jones McMullen grew up in Modoc Illinois. She started reenacting in 1978 at the beautiful Fort de Chartres state park with her mom and siblings. Throughout school she excelled in the arts & dreamed of becoming an artist. After completing high school money and college were not something that was even remotely possible. She began a career as a welder an all along feeling compelled to the importance of staying true to a gift that only our creator can give, she walked away from welding and started creating art again. Being around the reenacting world the majority of her life and the love of history it made perfect sense that she needed to find an art form from times gone by to research & potentially persue. Intrigued by floorcloths while researching and those artists who traveled from town to town leaving homes & taverns filled with beautiful art for all to enjoy she was hooked. Angela loves to read and learn from their ways but also learning new techniques to master for a future in something she holds so close in her heart.
