I often see this bloke plodding past my home before dawn, walking his dog. I imagine he is a shift worker or someone with a tight schedule.
This work is from my 4am series.
A change in sleep patterns means I often wake up and rise at 4 am. The works are observations from around my home and neighbourhood.
The 4am paintings are often complex and take more time than my usual to paint. It's an ongoing theme that is released less frequently than other work.
Artist Bio: Fiona trained at Queensland College of Art, majoring in Printmaking, Sculpture, Ceramics and Photography. She went on to obtain Secondary School Teaching certification and taught at several Brisbane High Schools.
Fiona has always loved painting and has produced a few each year since her teens. She started painting full time in 2022.
Fiona enjoys the challenge of Realism Painting to explore an authentic portrayal of her everyday life. Her work encompasses detailed portraits, landscapes, still life, and everyday scenes. Perspective tends to be traditional.
Fiona doesn't strive for photorealism, but she definitely employs a degree of realistic accuracy.
