About Fiona
"Colour and texture have always formed a basis for my work. Colour because of its profound ability to convey and to provoke emotion; texture because of the endless and exciting richness it can create. Working for a time both in interior design and fashion certainly opened my eyes to the endless array of colour and to the richness of texture, and this undoubtedly has an influence on my work."
"As I continue to work on colour and texture and on how my subject matter might relate to them, I try also to express mood and atmosphere through my interpretation of the actual."
Born in Scotland in 1966, Fiona grew up on a farm and was educated in Scotland. During the eighties and nineties she lived and worked in and around London.
In 2000 Fiona returned to Scotland where she is now based. She is married and lives in rural Perthshire where, when she’s not painting, she looks after her flock of Lleyn sheep.
