“My paintings are a personal exploration of both literal and emotional places I’ve been to. Through abstraction I can re-experience these places beyond a literal or realistic translation through finding a connection or memory through marks, gestures, colour and relationships of space. Art for me has always been about telling the truth about myself.” Felicity has been selected as a finalist in the Blacktown Art Prize and the Hornsby Art Prize 2015.
