ARTIST STATEMENT

​

Fiona's work is a visceral response to nature and the environment represented as fragments of memory and an imagined future. Painting primarily on canvas, glass and paper; she combines abstract marks with textural layers to create pieces filled with evocative energy.​ Her latest work, “Flight” is a small series on paper featuring earthy tones of blue, green and black intersected with layers of tape and pencil. Black hues are painted, dried, re-painted and finished with marks of ink. Reflections of the sky on the water flourish in green and blue; often bleeding into each other.

 

Each piece is created using vegan, cruelty-free products.
