“I’ve always wanted to set up a photography page and I was inspired by my mother who is an interior designer so the idea came about when she had all her colour swatches out and I thought it would be fun to match the colours to all the colourful places in and around Bristol,” Felicity told Bristol24/7.
“I enjoy running so I spot some of the places on my runs and others I’m already aware of. So I often discover them.”

“I love all the colourful houses in Cliftonwood and the street art on North Street and in Bedminster.
“I love bright colours and I previously lived in Brighton which is good competitions to Bristol with being a colourful city so I’ve always had an interest in it.
“Bristol is a perfect place for this because it is such a colourful place and famous for it!”
