Biography

Fiona was born in Dublin, Ireland and has been passionate about art since childhood.  Her work is vibrant and varied. The use of bright fresh colors and the intermixing of transparent with heavier layers give depth and spontaneity to her works. The juxtaposition of light also plays an important role.  She has worked in many mediums and is currently using acrylics. 
Having great admiration for the works of the Impressionist painters and the Dutch masters, Fiona draws inspiration for her paintings from her surroundings. She is continuously exploring and experimenting with various techniques and creative arrangements in her artwork.
She attended the College of Art and Design in Dublin and has followed private courses at art schools in Ireland, England and Belgium throughout her career, and is currently attending the Overijse Art Academy (BKO). She has participated in group and solo exhibitions in Belgium, Finland, Ireland, and England and is a member of Art Perspectives International (API) in Brussels.
Fiona worked for many years with the Irish Airlines Aer Lingus and traveled extensively during that time. It was while traveling in India in 1984 that she met her Belgian husband, Luc. She lives with Luc and their two children in Wezembeek-Oppem on the outskirts of Brussels.
