About Fiona

Thanks for visiting my website.

I’m a Scottish classical realist and plein air landscape artist, born in Lossiemouth and raised in Glasgow.

All my life I have been painting and drawing on the move, and being the adventurous spirit that I am, I enjoy travelling the world and discovering new places with my faithful travelling easel.

After choosing to dedicate myself to a career in art, I enrolled in the Glasgow Academy of Fine Art, where I completed their intensive three-year drawing and painting program, graduating in 2022. This fulfilling experience not only strengthened my passion for art but also laid a solid foundation for my path as a professional artist.

Currently, I spend the majority of my time working in my home studio, working on commissions, as well as expanding and experimenting on my own work.

I'm particularly influenced by 16th Century art and the Renaissance period. I love the works of Titian, Vermeer and The Hague School especially for my en Plein Air art and Chardin for my Still Life projects.

You will find my artwork hanging in ScotlandArt Gallery, Bath Street, Glasgow.and Fotheringham Gallery, Bridge of Allan. Past achievements include a solo exhibition with Cass Art, Glasgow, and work shown in the OXO Tower, South Bank, London and the McEwan Gallery, Braemar. I recently appeared as a Wildcard artist on TV Show, Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year 2022, an experience I hugely enjoyed. My work has also been used in film and TV productions.

I've sold to collectors all over the world, including Australia, America and Europe.

I currently live and paint in Glasgow, Scotland with my family and always have my Jack Russell, Fred, in tow.
