Angela Palmer has sculptures in the permanent collections of The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, The National Portrait Gallery in Scotland, and a major installation, The Ghost Forest, in The National Botanic Garden of Wales. Her work is in private and public collections worldwide. She is an award-winning graduate of The Royal College of Art and was a scholar at The Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at Oxford University. 

Mapping is at the core of her work and using MRI, CT and other scanning methods, she has adapted a technique to show objects floating as three-dimensional drawings in glass cubes. These include her brain, an Egyptian child mummy in the Ashmolean Museum and the head of the world’s most famous racehorse Eclipse. She has recreated an area of space using Nasa data for the Kepler mission. Palmer has also created lifesize in glass the most successful Formula 1 engine, the V8 RS27, used by Sebastian Vettel in four consecutive F1 world championships. Her F1 inspired work and engraved portraits were exhibited in September 2017 at Zuleika Gallery in collaboration with Sir Jackie Stewart's charity, Race Against Dementia.
