In her March exhibition, The Glorious Way She Moves, interpretive portraits illustrate the exuberance and individuality of her subjects. Felix’s process is to film her subjects dancing, and then express that movement through overlapping portraits.

Artwork on view in an art gallery. On one wall, twenty small drawings hang on a grid. Seven larger paintings hang on another wall. The style is chaotic and dark.
