After 18 years as a designer/illustrator, in 2014, Fiona made the leap to becoming a full-time artist. Fiona’s works live with people excited by colour and nature. By working with watercolour and mixed media, Fiona creates fluidity in her work; subtle washes, bright colours, and fine lines that gently move across large pieces of paper and the canvas. Fiona’s artworks appeal to the beauty of aesthetics, they can serve as a reminder to enjoy and wonder at the environment we live in. Depicting nature at its most vulnerable.
