“Angels exist all around us.  They can be our friends, our neighbors, someone on a metro, in the street or in places we cannot yet see.  Regardless, they protect us, they guide us, and they make our world a more magical, safer place to live. It’s hard to describe, but I believe angels take on many different forms, such as light and electric energy.  The wings may simply be a symbol of that energy’s form of “flight” or means of travel.  In my paintings, some images may have large, far-reaching metaphorical wings while others, perhaps, are recognized as tiny abstractions through the use of light, colors and metallic paints and/or iridescence.  When thinking about angels in human form, I dare to imagine they could quite possibly have crooked halos…but souls of gold.  It’s not difficult to find angels--just look around you—they are everywhere!”—April Popko
