Fiona MacRae

Fiona grew up in Argyll and studied painting at Glasgow School of Art and Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, before pursuing a full time career in painting. She has exhibited nationally and internationally mainly in group shows, with three solo shows to date, Zurich, Mull, and Galanthus gallery.

Her paintings are tabletop still lifes, which are heavily influenced by flat winter island landscapes, both in colour and composition; the wonderful greys of the sea, sky, wet sand and the raw brown bare earth, with the occasional splash of lichen green. The objects depicted in her paintings are from her domestic surroundings, most of which have been found over years of searching junkshops and the internet, akin to beachcombing.
