Barbara Felix is a San Antonio native and contemporary figurative artist. She received her BFA in Graphic Communication at Texas State University in 1991, where her TSU coursework fired her love of the human figure and inspired her long pursuit to work as an artist. Felix began taking community classes at the Southwest School of Art, San Antonio in 2006. After receiving a Best of Show award in 2007 at the All-Student exhibition, she began a more dedicated pursuit of art, receiving a Certificate in Drawing, Painting and Printmaking in 2013. She is self-taught in animation, video and audio editing, which she started working with in 2016 for Luminaria Arts Festival at Dignowity Park. Her animation and performance videos have been screened in festivals and exhibitions across the United States and internationally. Felix has curated exhibitions for the Bijou Cinema Theater (2017-2019), Slab Cinema Arthouse (2022), and the City of San Antonio Department of Art & Culture (2022/2023). Felix is actively engaged in her community, as an Executive Board Member Contemporary Art Month (CAM); Gentileschi Aegis Gallery Association (GAGA), and the San Antonio Ethnic Art Society (SAEAS). She early retired from corporate graphic design to pursue her artistic passions full time in March 2022.
