about.
Welcome to The Autumn Gloaming, a place where uncanny creatures emerge from as yet unknown places…
Here we celebrate ghosts, the Gothic, Dark Nature and folklore ~ Here Hallowe’en never truly ends.
My name is Angela Juhl and I create everything here at the Gloaming. While watercolors are my primary medium, I also work in linocut, dollmaking, and collage.
I love exploring new materials, which likely means I will probably never master of any one thing, and that’s ok.
In the last few years I’ve been using charcoal and liquid graphites to create ethereal pieces inspired by the incomparable Stephen Gammell, illustrator of “Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark,” that series of children’s books that was so deeply formative to my person (and to that of many other darkly-inclined individuals).
When I’m not making things you might catch me reading in the cemetery or sketching at a coffee shop. I grew up on (and still adore) the old Universal monster movies as well as 80s horror classics like “An American Werewolf in London” and “Fright Night.” Silent films are some of my favorites. I have an MA in English literature (where I focused on 19th Gothic writing) and an MS in library science. Having a deep appreciation for children’s picture books, it is one of my abiding dreams to write and publish one someday.
I often attend darkwave and postpunk concerts with Samuel, husband and Gomez to my Morticia. We also enjoy tracking the movements of various birds and spending time with our two cats, Ernest Proginoskes Worrell and Elvira Vulnavia Van Tassel.
