BIO

Felice fell in love with color and representation as a high school student in the woods of British Columbia. After high school, she spent a brief stint in Texas before returning to Canada to attain a bachelors of fine art from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in August of 2000.

While in college, Felice took part in shows from Nova Scotia, to Ontario. Along with two other women, she started and ran the NSCAD Student Art Store, a venue for students to sell their work during Halifax’s bustling tourist season. She ended her time in Canada with a solo show entitled “PUTTING IT ON…and taking it off”. In this show she used painting, printmaking and installation to exaggerate classical ideas of femininity to the point of comedy. Each piece provided an in-depth look at the way that society molds females’ expectations of themselves. “PUTTING IT ON… and taking it off” was the embodiment of a budding artistic vision for Felice, combining her favorite medium—the portrait—and her favorite subjects—the exploration of group dynamics and women’s issues.

In March of 2002, while finishing her masters at Texas A&M University Felice coordinated and curated a flat work exhibition of time-based animation and video pieces at the University of Houston's Archive Gallery.   Around that same time Felice started Housepaintings Studio, an artists' space in downtown Bryan, Texas.   Through the studio Felice began to teach weekly drawing and painting classes as well as weekend workshops.

Housepaintings continues to offer classes and studio space to local artists and musicians and provides a venue for The Art Step, the Bryan, Texas biannual community art show.

Felice regularly exhibits her work in Austin, Fort Worth, Houston and the Bryan/College Station area. For further information about these shows please visit the events section of this site or contact Housepaintings Studio by e.mail info@housepaintings.net or by phone (979) 218-0151
