ANGELICA WISENBARGER
bird artist
But you can call me Wosebagger. I got a PhD in Classics (Greek and Latin) in Cincinnati in 2021 & have since taught Latin & Greek, written nonstop, worked at an academic library, & indulged my bizarre fascination with Richard Nixon. Sometimes I'm in Cincinnati, sometimes I'm in Florida (currently Melbourne Beach). I also paint birds, which is probably why you're here. They're mostly upland game birds. These and some photos of the paintings in progress are also posted on Instagram.
​
I work mainly in gouache.
​
I don't take commissions now, but I may in the future. I'm always open to hearing your ideas!

I enjoy the textures and shapes of birds, and I'm often inspired by medieval manuscript illumination. Without E. "S." Griffith, for whom many of these were painted, I would never have have known much about, let alone grown fond of, woodcock and grouse.
​
Though they probably have a narrower audience than the bird "portraits," the illuminations are what I enjoy most. It's too satisfying to put something delightful and decorative into the world that didn't exist before and couldn't have existed without strange chains of decision only I could make.

Thanks for stopping by!
