Felice Paintworks

Hello,

I’m Minty, the one who holds the paintbrush for Felice Paintworks. I have a unique blend of skills and experiences that have ultimately lead me to where I am today. I gained a bachelor degree in Dental Hygiene & Therapy in 2010 and then shifted to Australia to live with my husband.

After having two children and experiencing postnatal depression my path took an unexpected but deeply transformative turn. I found solace and healing in creativity and resonated with the quote “The opposite of depression isn’t joy, its expression.”

In 2023 I completed a diploma in Interior Design to help me with a full house renovation in Tamahere, Hamilton. I found it very difficult to find affordable large scale artwork, so I picked up a paintbrush and began painting. My belief is everyone should be able to enjoy the uniqueness of an original painting!

About my Art

I am an Artist and Interior Designer with a deep appreciation for nature’s raw beauty.

I enjoy working with fluid acrylic, pigments and ink with a hint of some fun sciency stuff to complete my unique look.

My work is organic, earthinspired, that evokes the intricate textures and patterns of rocks, shells and tree bark.

When allowing the paint and pigments to move freely over the linen canvas, they embrace the natural flow of nature, and the use of metallic paints subtly enhances the pieces by mimicking the delicate mineral veins found in nature.

With a preference for neutral tones and organic aesthetics my art bridges the world of fine art and interior design, bringing a sense of grounded elegance to any space. @felice.paintworks
