Born in Dundee, Fiona attended Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, graduating with a Diploma in Decorative Design, thereafter obtaining a Diploma in Secondary Art Teaching. Her passion for pastels started about 10 years ago having discovered their depths and versatility for showing the beauty and often mystical atmosphere of the Scottish Landscape. Now recognised as one of the leading pastel landscape artists in Scotland, Fiona is renowned for her striking rich toned studies, particularly concentrating on the dramatic skies and light effects found over the Tay Estuary. In addition, the spectacular mountain landscapes of the highlands, particularly the Braemar and Royal Deeside areas, continue to provide inspiration.
