About Angelea H.R.
Angelea Heartsong-Redding (American, b.1990) is a photographic artist from rural northern California.

Her work explores contradictions within beauty, evidence of personal traumas, and the female gaze. H.R.’s photography was exhibited in institutions such as The Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, CA, the Jackie Headley Gallery in Chico, CA and the Siskiyous Art Museum in Dunsmuir, CA. Her work was included in publications by She Shoots Film and Cordella Magazine.
