ARTIST BIO

Felicity Sidwell lives in an old farmhouse in Gettysburg, PA. She paints in an impressionistic style in oil and most recently has developed a passion for the immediacy of pastels, often using watercolor as an under paintings. She loves to capture the colors and patterns of old, weathered Pennsylvania barns, the seasonal changing hues of foliage, the interweaving of colors in creeks, fields and hedgerows and the delicacy of the colors of a stand of bare winter trees after rain. It is a landscape happily reminiscent of the Hertfordshire village in England where she grew up and first learned to love the nuances of a gentle rural landscape.

Felicity and her husband came to the US in the early 1970s. Settling first in Connecticut where she attended Silvermine School of Art. There her main course of study was in realistic oil painting at a time when abstraction was often considered the only meaningful art form.

While in Connecticut, Felicity exhibited in a number of group and solo shows, winning an occasional prizes for her watercolors.

By the summer of 2000 she was doing weekly outdoor shows in Eastham on Cape Cod with the Eastham Painters Guild.

She later moved to Maine for ten years working mainly in oils. Here her Plein Air painting developed while working with the Plein Air Painters of Maine and a group of friends who painted together at different locations every Thursday. This was her marine painting period, small fishing harbors, sandy beaches, rocky shores and the brilliant yellows and golds of tidal salt marshes in autumn.

While in Maine Felicity ran her own successful art gallery in a summer cottage perched on the rocks overlooking Casco Bay and a little fishing harbor in Phippsburg, ME.

Felicity is a member of the American Impressionist Society The Susquehanna Plein Air Painters, The Mountain Valley Plein Air Painters and the Plein Air Painters of the Hanover Arts Guild.

She exhibits at CALC in Carlisle

The Hanover Area Arts Guild

The Foundry in Chambersburg

In the fall of 2023, she will have a solo show of her work at the Adams County Arts Council in Gettysburg.
