Angela Bacon-Kidwell macht 2004 ihren Bachelor in Malerei und Fotografie an der Midwestern State Universität in Wichita Falls, Texas. Es folgen einige Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen in u.a. Portland, New York, Seattle und London. In den vergangenen Jahren wurden ihre Arbeiten mit diversen Preisen ausgezeichnet. Darunter der 1. Platz bei den International Photography Awards 2009 für ihre Fotoserie “Traveling Dream”.

My photography comes from a life long obsession of exploring how my subconscious generates my dreams. As I move through my day, I am keenly aware of my encounters with people, places and things. I mentally record the details of these situations, and the physical or emotional responses that they evoke. These fleeting associations replay themselves in my dreams. The random moments combine to form sleep stories that are rich narratives, ripe with symbolism. With that as my model, I construct sets, use props and invite myself and models to perform in a natural, intuitive way. In essence, I attempt to create a waking dream.
