Angela Gilman

"Transforming surfaces into living narratives — with paint, texture, and an obsessive attention to material honesty."

Angela Gilman is a Los Angeles-based scenic and pictorial artist with deep experience across film, television, themed entertainment, and institutional commissions. She leads scenic teams on major studio projects and works independently on commissions that demand both technical precision and artistic vision.

Her background spans storyboard revision for animated series at Nickelodeon and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, prop design, and pictorial work — giving her a rare combination of draftsmanship and scenic craft that few artists bring to a set.

Specialties include airbrush and spray gun work, fine-line detail brushwork, faux finishes, wood graining, aging, black light painting, and large-scale mural work. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art from California State University, Northridge.
