Felicia Aroney – Artist Biography
Felicia Aroney is a professional artist with representation in seven major Australian Galleries. She has enjoyed sell out shows in both the Hong Kong and Singapore Art fairs. In 2014 and 2017 Felicia Aroney was involved in a joint project with Make-up Guru Napoleon Perdis, in which her work was used on make-up bags selling in Australia and the USA. She has had several magazines publish her work and successes. In July 2014 Felicia was announced as a Finalist in the well-acclaimed Mosman Art Fair Prize, also the Hornsby Art Prize.
Felicia Aroney’s work is a combination of influences both from her Australian and Greek background. She uses a palette knife and layers the paint to imitate aged European Buildings, whilst her subject matter is clearly a reflection of her Australian surrounds.
Combining a feeling of antiquity akin to aged historic buildings and the great Australian environment, Felicia creates richly textured and unique paintings. In addition, the beautiful Australian garden birds are often incorporated in her work giving them a gentle beauty. Using a palette knife Felicia applies thick layers of acrylic paint that dance and curl off the canvas. Whilst using this tactile and abstract technique, her finer detail is painted with the delicate use of brush and oils. This combined method create a recognizable and distinctive style.
