created by Vancouver artist Jackie Haliburton, who pioneered hand-painted T-shirts and clothing.
Jackie studied at
the Banff School of Fine Arts in the 1960s before moving
to Los Angeles to attend the prestigious Chouinard Art
School (now known as the California Institute of the
Arts), where she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She also
has a teaching degree from the University of B.C. and
taught high school art for many years before
opening her first store in Vancouver’s Kitsilano district in 1978.
ANGEL then spent 16 years on Robson Street before moving
in 1998 to the historic Gastown area. Jackie
travelled extensively in Europe researching fabric paints and dyes
before launching her own Angel fabric paint brand, which
customers from around the world rave about, saying
it’s the best they’ve ever used. We offer 55 custom designed colours
for you to design your own painted garments, everything
from T-shirts to leather jackets.
