Biography

Cartographers record known paths, roads, and landmarks. My lines are the bits in-between, that are not public, that do not lead anywhere, which if you followed them would take you across impassable terrain through forbidden fields and over insurmountable barriers.

Review Art Cornwall May 2009

Fiona achieves artistic communication though exquisite layering and control of line, tone and colour. Coloured surfaces are reminiscent of minerals, sea and sky; drawings executed on the gentlest of tonal surfaces are more map-like. Both are laid down as part of an inherent, improvised inter-play between the material, the recalled and existential. Ultimately, as finely resolved artworks, they have a rare purity and elegance.
