The line between endangered & extinction is in mankind’s control. Fiona loves painting and drawing New Zealand wildlife in a realistic style.
Whilst a deep and profound love of nature lies at the core of her inspiration, it is a peaceful inner feeling of freedom and joy in creating a new artwork that drives and motivates Fiona to paint and draw. Although she has had no formal art training, Auckland born Fiona says her capacity to draw and paint stems from her mother, a talented artist in her own right, who encouraged Fiona from a young age to pursue her artistic bent.
2010 marked the beginning of her first series with a painting of a North Island brown kiwi standing alone high up on a plinth calling out. The first instalment of this series was exhibited in 2020 and focused on mankind’s relationship with nature and the line between endangered & extinction.
She keeps a journal where any new ideas for paintings and have recently started a couple of new series.
