Angela Biederman began working for Rivers of Steel as a part-time deckhand in March 2018. About a year later, she became the full-time Chief Deckhand, and is responsible for maintaining Explorer year-round. She began working for Rivers of Steel out of interest for the conservation of Pittsburgh’s rivers, and experiencing its landscape in novel ways. She holds a Master in Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Ceramics, as well as a BFA in Ceramics. She continues to make art of various media from her home studio.
Originally from Wisconsin, and having spent a lot of time on the Mississippi River, Angela has always loved exploring waterways and the outdoors. She holds a Light Air certification from US Sailing and is a member of the Moraine Sailing Club. She has also taught as Adjunct Faculty at the Community College of Allegheny County in the art department since 2017.
