Barbara Felix

Honoring dynamic women of color in the community, Barbara Felix paints large-scale murals that capture the multi-faceted nature of her subjects. These full body, multi-image portraits are accompanied with audio that depicts and celebrates their backgrounds and beliefs. A recurring theme is the role that dance and movement play in navigating their lives. Felix’s goal is to make installations that uplift and connect us to our personal and shared joy.
