Fiona HooperAward-winning and critically-acclaimed artist Fiona Hooper love nothing more than painting landscapes in her distinctive and contemporary style. Exploring the world's wild and natural landscapes helps Fiona to recharge her mental 'batteries' and unwid, a feeling she likes to reflect in her paintings. She works predominantly in oils to capture the tranquillity of her settings and her signature style often incorporates gold and silver leaf. Fiona started writing poetry during lockdown which led to her running a weekly live show on Facebook called The Poetry of Painting - a collaborative project of poets from America to Australia. Wherever possible, Fiona prefers to work in the open air and directly from her subject so she can capture and interpret the sights, sounds and smells onto her canvas. However, she achieves the same results using sketches, photographs and her memories of the experience. Fiona lives and works in West Sussex, UK, where she is often to be found on location with her easel and paints. She has paintings in collections in the UK and internationally, including the USA, Canada, France, Ireland, Malta, Australia, and Switzerland.
