"Starting to paint is starting to see." — Fiona Craig

Fiona enjoys travel and experiencing sights in the natural environment and botanical gardens. For the past decade, she has been living in Australia and the USA, painting, exhibiting, and teaching. While her specialty remains Australian native flora, she has also enjoyed painting American landscapes, the flora of her local botanic garden in Chicago, and a few portraits. Like many artists of the past who travelled abroad to widen their artistic horizons, Fiona also finds that the diversity of subjects provided by contrasting environments provides new interest and motivation to keep making and developing her art.
