First Encyclopedias: History

Fiona Chandler is a water colour artist who lives in Freshwater, Sydney.  She is interested in capturing the beauty of the natural world, especially nature’s unique colours and texture.  Depicting nature at its most vulnerable. After 18 years as a designer/illustrator, in 2014, Fiona made the leap to becoming a full-time artist. Fiona’s works live with people excited by colour and nature. By working with watercolour and mixed media, Fiona creates fluidity in her work; subtle washes, bright colours, and fine lines that gently move across large pieces of paper and the canvas. The idea of decay highlights the ecological crisis, even though Fiona’s artworks appeal to the beauty of aesthetics, they can serve as a reminder to protect and love the environment we live in.
