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."
