Fiona is a wonderful artist I discovered while searching E-Bay for fantasy art. It is amazing how many grate artists sell their works through E-Bay these days, and should you try searching E-Bay for art ... you'll find out that it takes ages to even get an idea of what is on offer!
Fiona is located in the UK and has been involved in art, design and education all her life, after she got a degree in Art & Design (Textiles) from Manchester in 1980. She has been head of Art at Queen's School in Chester for many years, she has designed individualised clothing for many people including well known musicians. Her painted fabrics and scarves are being sold in outlets all over the world among which the Craft Council and the Liberty's in London, and her art is also in collections all over the world. You will find more details about her involvement in art in her bio as shown in her official site at http://www.amofi.co.uk/.
As she says herself, she has a life long passion for fairy tales and legends and this is reflected in her small illustrative pieces of magical beings. She uses eye catching, bright colours and I escpecially love her fairy portaits. The expressions her fairies get are so natural, it feels (to me at least) that they are there, right in front of me ready to start their fairy tricks !
I own a few original ACEO paintings of hers and a couple of larger watercolour paintings as well.
Scans will follow.
