Felicity House
Felicity House was born in Kent and from an early age had a passion for drawing. Formerly a Primary School teacher, Felicity gave up teaching in 2000 to concentrate on developing her art. She now works as an illustrator and teaches life drawing at the Art Institute at Bournemouth.

Felicity enjoys making instinctive and spontaneous paintings and drawings directly from the subject. The paintings remain as fresh responses in their own right. The drawings and tonal studies are often developed in the studio, edited into abstracted watercolour landscapes while always retaining the essence of a place. There is a clean simplicity about these compositions.

Felicity has been awarded numerous awards and regularly exhibits at the RWA annual exhibition Bristol; and in London with the Pastel Society, the New English Art club, the Royal Institute of Watercolour painters and at the Discerning Eye exhibition.
