Angie Quintanilla (keen-tah-knee-yah) Coates is a visual artist born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico and based in British Columbia, Canada. Her work is deeply influenced by her cultural heritage and personal journey. Through bold colour and geometric forms, she creates compositions that radiate joy and an unapologetic, relentless optimism. This is a nod to her Mexican roots, and an invitation for anyone who needs it, to get a dose of what she likes to call dopamina mexicana. When she’s not in her studio, she can be found exploring the nearby ocean and mountain trails in Port Moody, BC, where she lives with her dog Meatball, and rescue husband Geoff.
