Felicia Gabaldon is an American Indian artist of the Choctaw Tribe, originally from Santa Fe, NM, now residing in Oakland, CA. She is influenced by the desert landscape, from basic stereotypes and the formulaic constructs of typical representations of the region to utopian visions and romanticized beliefs. In her paintings, Felicia explores themes of self-discovery, culture, and history, paying distant reverence to these aspects of human existence. Felicia’s work combines elements of myth and mysticism, inviting viewers to delve into a deeper understanding of the natural world. Through cultural, iconic, and folkloric content, Felicia's work showcases the wonders of nature brought to life through symbols and tradition. One of Felicia's aspirations is to highlight the profound influence of space and human experience on the formation of individual and communal belief systems. With her art showcased in galleries and on outdoor walls throughout the United States, Felicia Gabaldon continues to captivate audiences with her evocative and thought-provoking creations.
