Easel & Vine with Angela Kallsen

Welcome to Easel & Vine — a place for art, nature, travel, and the joy of making things!
I’m Angela Kallsen, an artist, educator, and lifelong learner. I believe everyone is creative, and that making art is about curiosity, experimentation, and giving ourselves permission to explore — NOT perfection!
Here you’ll find art projects, painting and sketchbook explorations, creative experiments, travel journals, and inspiration from gardens, vineyards, and the natural world. Join me on adventures in France, Portugal, and beyond as we discover the stories of old vines, the beauty of overlooked details, and the connections between art and everyday life.
Whether you’re an experienced artist or simply curious, there’s a place for you here.
I call this community Tendrils — because creativity, much like a vine, keeps reaching toward something new.
🌿 Keep reaching, keep growing, and keep creating.
