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.

She works both on traditional paper and now on wooden panels which allow her new and exciting dimensions to enhance the vastness of landscapes such as Glenshee and the Linn of Dee, as well as the intensity of the tall dramatic trees and beautiful waterfalls of the Quoich Valley.

From her home town of Dundee, which lies on the northern banks of the River Tay she captures the quality of light over the wondrous river and its estuary, during each changing season.

Fiona has exhibited with several prominent galleries, and her work is now enthusiastically collected throughout Scotland, and can be found in private collections in Norway and Australia.
