Born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia, Angie Wiggins was in the seventh grade when she won first place in an art show. It was a watercolor still life of wine bottles. Her choice of media may have changed, but her passion to create has remained a constant. Angie went on to receive a BFA in Fine Crafts from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia the very first year that it was awarded. Over the years she has taken dozens of workshops in all sorts of media. Handmade paper and polymer clay are the media central to her work. Throughout her career, Angie has run her own gallery/studio in New Orleans, exhibited in regional galleries and art shows, made holiday ornaments for both the White House and the Virginia governor’s mansion, and has taught classes to students of all ages. Angie has been privileged to have her work published in various books and magazines. Angie recently moved to Tennessee with her husband, Donnie Caffery, and is looking forward to exploring her new home state, as well as growing a new garden, making new friends, and hiking wherever their Cricket RV lands.
