Biography

Felicity Schrader’s artistic journey spans over 15 years of creative exploration in various fields including fashion, interiors, events, and floristry. Transitioning into the art world in 2020, she introduced her unique mixed media approach, blending floral photography with impasto oil paint strokes on stretched canvas.

With a decade of experience in floral design through her successful event business, Felicity’s artistic inspiration stems from the natural allure of flowers. Their distinctive bends, curves, textures, and colours serve as the focal point of her work, symbolising the fluidity of life’s moments, emotions, and experiences.

In her creations, Felicity captures attention through vibrant colours, dynamic strokes, and strategic use of negative space, guiding viewers on an immersive journey through her art. Each piece exudes movement and depth, forging a profound emotional connection between the observer and the artwork.
