Felicity Keefe - current work

Make an enquiry

Felicity  was born and grew up in Devon until she left to study art at Brighton University. However in 1996, Felicity moved back to the west country to study at City of Bath College. This led to work as a part-time lecturer in painting and visual studies at the same College, where she still tutors within the fine art program area

The move back to the West Country also marked a significant development in her paintings. The subject matter now began to concentrate on the environment as an area of inspiration, a theme that has evolved and became integral to her work in the coming years. Felicity's reputation as an abstract landscape artist continues to grow.

She was recently selected by arts writer Mathew Collings to show work in a group exhibition he curated and her work has been featured in such publications as the Guardian, the Sunday Express, Venue magazine and Evolver.

Inspiration comes directly from areas of landscape that hold specific meaning for her; areas that have provided a backdrop to personal memories or events. She often works in series, observing the way an environment is constantly changing, altered by erosion, weather and conditions of time. The paintings work on an intuitive level without pinning down particular landmarks but aiming instead for a feeling of timelessness and a sense of largeness or the panoramic. For this reason the paintings themselves retain an ambiguity of image but accurately reflect her own instinctive reactions to the subject.
