Painter, oils and acrylics. Also does drawing and digital art.

Will Felix was born in Brooklyn, NY in the eventful summer of 1969. His mother went into labor while watching Apollo 11 land on the moon, and headed for the hospital only to be sent back home. He was born 2 days later. This suggests either comfort in the womb, or rather a predilection for questioning the rules. This stubbornness with the conformity of human perception is prevalent in his varied works.

Coming from a lower-income Caribbean immigrant family, the idea of an art career was not welcomed. Will sought to appease his family while still following his dreams. The compromises weren’t all successful.

After quitting out of architecture, he chose to go into graphic design, which offered a means of making a living, but took him away from fine art. Recovering from a bout of depression in 1998, it was clear to him that painting was an important part of his recovery, as well as a life vocation.

Will’s art career developed in Orlando, FL, where his work has been on display in several venues, including the Orlando Museum of Art and City Hall. Subsequent moves to New York City in 2000 and Akron, OH in 2004 have provided varied influences and venues for his career. He currently resides in Richmond, VA.
