Diaries & Calendars

Fiona Craig is an award winning fine artist and art teacher who paints flora, landscapes, still life, and portraits. Her style is contemporary realism, in media including oils, watercolours, acrylics, pastels and mixed media.

Fiona grew up in the Blue Mountains, Australia. She participated in informal and academic art studies. She has held numerous solo exhibitions. Her artworks are in private and public collections worldwide.

For the past decade, she has been living in Australia and the USA. 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. Fiona also finds that the diversity of subjects provided by contrasting environments – experienced through her love of travel, provides new interest and motivation to keep making and developing her art.
