ARTIST BIO

Having grown up in Adelaide Felicity started dancing at a young age and was lucky enough to follow her passion to graduate with one of the first Bachelor of Arts Dance Degrees in Australia in 1988.  Having worked as a professional dancer and teacher Felicity was able to explore and develpope her creative passion whilst at the same time sharing her love of movement with her students.   In 1996 she graduated with one of the first Diplomas in Natural Therapy and worked fulltime as a Naturapath.

Starting with watercolour pencils she progressed to to the brushes in May 19 and in 2020 also began to paint in oil. Capturing many of the things she loves about water colour including, using the white of the background to create light, she aims to capture flow within the vibrancy of oil.

Felicity says "as a new emerging artist this wonderful world of painting has given me a vehicle to express both my creative and compassionate sides. I have a thirst for the positive and a love of colour which has only magnified as I have opened myself to this new part of my life.

Living by the beach I am privelleged to have beautiful seascapes and suroundings to inspire me and with a passion for gardening I have endless possibilities for me to paint outside.

The fluidity of watercolour is one of my passions as this is where my career in painting has begun."
