ARTIST PROFILE

Fiona Johnston

Originally from Melbourne and currently residing on the Bellarine Peninsula, Fiona has a deep appreciation for family, community, children, and nature. Her artistic journey is driven by a desire to extend her artwork beyond the studio and into the community, aiming to make a positive impact by exhibiting her work.

​

Although Fiona's passion for art has always been a defining aspect of her life, she made the decision to pursue formal art studies after leaving the corporate world and moving to the Bellarine Peninsula. After dedicating four years to studying and practicing art, she embarked on her formal degree, completing a Bachelor of Design Arts at LCI Melbourne, where she majored in Visual Arts. Through this comprehensive program, Fiona refined her artistic voice, explored diverse concepts, and prepared herself for a professional career in the arts.

Fiona expresses her creativity through watercolours, acrylics, textures and monoprints, cultivating an abstract style. Her art studio serves as a sanctuary for experimentation, where she strives to create light, depth, and contrast in her loose compositions.

​

Inspiration for her creations comes from various aspects of life, including family, personal experiences, travel, nature, observing and interacting with other artists, Fiona’s warm and vibrant colour palette reflects the beauty she observes in her surroundings.

As her artwork evolves, so do her ideas, techniques, and creative possibilities for the future. She looks forward to exploring different styles and pushing the boundaries of her artistic capabilities.

Fiona is available for commissions.
