ARTIST STATEMENT

Fiona's work is a visceral response to nature and the environment represented as fragments of memory and imagined journeys. Painting primarily on canvas and paper; she combines abstract marks with textural layers to create pieces filled with evocative energy. Her latest work, “Ghosts of Château-Richer” is a small series on paper featuring tones of blue, green and black intersected with tape and pencil. White layers are painted, dried, re-painted and finished with rustic marks. Tapestries of green fields flourish amongst hints of purple and blue; each bleeding into each other and taking the viewer on a voyage across fractured landscapes.

 

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