Bio:
Felicity House recalls that as a child she could never get enough drawing material. A post-war education that gave time and status
to Art encouraged and developed her visual skills.
She gained her B.Ed
(Hons) from Bristol University in 1972 and pursued a career teaching until
2000. She received a HNC (Higher National Certificate) Art and Fine Art from the Arts University Bournemouth and
taught there from 2000 as a tutor of life drawing and short art courses. She
also became the Art Tutor for West Dean College from 2005 – 2012. This
flexibility gave her the opportunity to travel and fill numerous sketchbooks.
Felicity was elected a
Member of the Pastel Society in 2003. As Archivist for the Society she
regularly research the archives for information in response to requests from
the public. She has
also contributed to numerous art magazines, including the Pastel Journal
(October 2009); the Artist magazine (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013 – when she was
interviewed by Ken Gofton, a frequent contributor to the Pastel Journal); Watercolour Artist (USA); Leisure Painter
(2012); and Artists and Illustrators Magazine (2013).
She is currently
Chairman of Bournemouth Arts Club, a meeting point for Artists in the region
which regularly holds selected Exhibitions.

Felicity's work has a beautiful drawing foundation, yet she can jump into the color side of it, and let the outlines go. Quite wonderful to see the drawing speaking with such a vigorous voice. Inspiring! Thanks for posting these.
