After 22 years, Felicia Belair-Rigdon is leaving the Torpedo Factory Art Center effective Dec. 31, 2010. She is an honorary member of the 'factory' and has served two terms as Advertising and promotions Chair, as well as organizing the Holiday Open House in the past.

Her other-worldly collage paintings have received the attention of many jurors and collectors here and abroad. Warren Buffet has one of her Center Pieces in his collection. Dubbed an artists' artist, Felicia is a winner of the Open Studio Press mid-Atlantic region of the New American Paintings competition selected by Linda Norden, curator of contemporary art at Harvard University's Fogg Museum. Ann Cohen DiPietro of the Heschler Museum awarded a solo showing at The Graphic Eye Gallery in Port Washington, NY. Her work has been shown at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, The Virginia Museum of Fine Art, The Baltimore Museum, and the Chrysler Museum, Newport News.  The artist is relocating to Rehoboth Beach.
