Bio:

Felicity Marshall grew up in the country outside Perth, Western Australia. She was also educated in UK and in Boston. She obtained an Honours Degree in Fine Art from Curtin University of Technology while at the same time studying classical ballet, character dancing, Martha Graham technique and performing in ballet concerts and children’s pantomime.

Felicity has taught in art school and worked in film production and post-production. She has two children and has travelled and lived in USA, Canada, England and France. She has had several exhibitions of her work and numerous private commissions. Her most recent exhibitions were in France and London in late 2006, and subsequently in Melbourne in 2008, and Qdos Gallery, Lorne, Australia in 2010.

Having been involved in dance, painting, photography, children’s books and film, her approach to art is a holistic one. Growing up in a family of writers, she often creates paintings that have a story element, and stories that have a painterly element.

Felicity lives and works in Melbourne and Anglesea, Australia and has also lived over a 6 year period in the Loire Valley, France where she developed a deep affection for French people and their way of life and was influenced by close connections to French artists and writers.

Nowadays, she practices yoga and Tai Chi and loves to cook for friends.

Endless beachcombing, wild country, odd pets, innovative performances, magic places, curious people and the pursuit of happiness constantly distract her from her art.
