Felicity Talman

Felicity Talman is a British artist based in rural West Wales and a postgraduate MA Fine Art student at Central Saint Martins, London. Her work centres on close observation of the natural world, often focusing on vegetal forms encountered in daily life. Themes of time, transience, and presence underpin her practice, inviting quiet attention and reflection.
Working primarily with soft pastels and charcoal on paper, Felicity draws on the tactile and immediate qualities of these media to create studies that range from intimate to more expansive. Her drawings resist symbolic readings, instead offering a space for encounter with the overlooked or ephemeral, capturing both surface detail and the temporal rhythms of plant life.
In 2025, Felicity received the Unison Young Artist Award at the Pastel Society 126th Annual Exhibition for her drawing In the Night Garden. Across 2024 and 2025, her work was selected for exhibition at the Pastel Society Annual Exhibitions at the Mall Galleries, London. Felicity is an Associate Member of the Pastel Society of America and a member of ArtCan.
