Diagnosed at a young age with diplopia (double vision), Felicia’s perception of the world has always been layered, both literally and metaphorically. After having surgical correction of her condition, which caused her to see overlapping images, she became fascinated with perspective, identity, and the fluid nature of reality. Rather than holding her back, this visual duality became central to her own artistic style and voice. Felicia’s individual work frequently incorporates surrealist elements, practical effects, and experimental filtration as a means of reconstructing the visual sensations she once experienced.
Drawing inspiration from dreams, memory and lived experience, Felicia approaches each project with the goal of creating images that invite introspection, emotion, and connection. While her personal aesthetic leans toward the surreal and the sensory, she is deeply committed to adapting her style to the unique emotional tone of each project. At the heart of her work is a desire to communicate shared human experiences. Through this communication, she hopes to encourage empathy, reflection, understanding and healing all through the power of presenting the human experience through visuals.
