About the Artist

Felicity is a published children’s author, ghostwriter, and visual artist whose work explores themes of mindfulness, memory, and emotional connection. She is the author of a magical realism series released in the early 2000’s for young readers, that weaves gentle threads of inner awareness and creative resilience throughout each story. As part of this work, she travelled across Australia, guiding students through mindfulness, creativity, and storytelling as tools to ease stress and cultivate inner calm.

Now devoting herself primarily to painting, Felicity’s art is shaped by the emotional terrain of her childhood years spent in the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. In those wild, remote, and often silent landscapes, she learned the language of solitude. Though surrounded by siblings, she was often alone by choice and sometimes by circumstance. The environment demanded presence, instinct, and attunement. It gifted her both a deep sense of connectedness with all living things, and a self-guidance born from navigating its beauty and its dangers.

Returning to Australia as an older teenager brought a profound culture shock. The shift from a collectivist island life to the rigid expectations of suburban Adelaide was jarring. Where she once belonged to the land and its rhythms, she now felt like a stranger performing roles to fit in. It was, as she describes it, the first real rupture from inner peace. And yet — it seeded the very depth from which her art now emerges.

Her creative practice both visual and written, has always been a way to process, to reclaim, and to understand. As her painting deepens, so too does her capacity to reframe the story of her life, not as one of dislocation, but of deepening return.
