Artist Biography
Felicia Aroney -Artist - Paintings
Contemporary painter Felicia Aroney is a well celebrated artist who is represented by 7 major galleries Australia wide, she was a finalist in the high profile Mosman Art Fair Prize, and has a long list of solo and mixed exhibitions under her belt. Felicia Aroney’s distinctive style draws inspiration from her European heritage, Australian botanicals and bird life, together with her love of texture and colour. She uses a palette knife to layer and shape the acrylic paint, switching to fine brushwork in oils when detail is needed and achieves a highly sculptural effect on the canvas. Originally from Perth WA, Felicia now resides in NSW.
Artist Statement
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.
