Fiona Buchanan

I am a visual artist and teacher. I trained as a scenic artist in Perth and worked for many
years as a mural and large-scale painter.
I love Western Australia and often travel in the Southwest of WA, a totally beautiful part of the world to gather reference material.

I am inspired to paint the ocean because of the sense of belonging to the Earth that it inspires. I love to paint portraits and to try to capture emotion.

I work in both pastel and paint. I love still life, portraiture, and seascapes. Each of these
areas is a challenge and I love them all.
