Artist Demo – 11 April 2025
Fiona Wilson
Figurative Extraction: Expressive figure studies in mixed media

This artist demo will take place on 11 April 2025 in Market Hill Rooms, Fish Hill, Royston (map). Please note this and all subsequent artist demos will start at 7.30pm and end at 9.30pm.

Fiona is a mixed media artist working from her Bedford studio.

Working directly from life and using music to draw on memories, imagination and the sub-conscious, her approach is expressive and semi-abstract with a foundation in observational drawing. Her aim is to capture emotive energies and draw on her experience in visual communications to aid pictorial design and visual narrative. Figurative elements are developed or extracted from initial layers of abstracted marks and there’s a deliberate ambiguity to provoke the viewer to search deeper. What is obscured or absent is often as important as what is revealed.

Fiona has work in personal collections, undertakes commissions and illustrates for books and film.

She co-founded Balcony Art & Design Studio in 2017 and consults on visual communications and social media. Fiona also co-founded and leads Frescoes Art Club as Artist in Residence, and has recently launched Ampthill Art Club in collaboration with ceramicist Amanda Silk.
