Reisha Felix

Reisha Felix is a Toronto based fine arts artist who was born and raised on the Caribbean island of Dominica. Her art celebrates the treasures of her Afro-Caribbean culture and her lived experiences on canvas - she is particularly interested in highlighting the treasure of Black hair within Black cultures. She is self-taught and uses acrylic paints as well as hot glue to simulate the textured curls, coils and kinks in her sometimes touchable art.

Reisha has exhibited her work in various shows at galleries in Ontario including ‘The Black Family’ at The Serpa Gallery, ‘Crown’ at The Scugog Artspace Gallery and is currently exhibiting at Art a la Carte at the Legislative Building in Toronto. Many of her works are also held in private collections throughout Canada, England, the United States and the Caribbean. She has also painted live at the Taste of Culture concert, the Textur’d Hair and Beauty Show and BrAIDdathon, and has facilitated art workshops with non-profit community art organizations like ArtStarts Toronto and the NIA Centre for the Arts.
