Idyllic landscapes and romantic vases of flowers epitomize the museum-quality paintings of Fiona Craig.  Her works are timeless in their subject matter, composition, and palette.  Her serene aesthetics make her paintings calming to the senses yet beautiful to behold. Brought up in the Blue Mountains near Sydney Australia, Craig finds inspiration in the great outdoors.  Travels to Bali and Java in Indonesia, New Caledonia, and the United States have further enhanced her ability to capture scenes that contrast her homeland.  When rendering scenes of nature, she captures such perfect details as the reflection of mighty trees in still waters, the exact shade of blue of an autumn sky, and the shadows that drift across mangroves in the afternoon.

In her still-life works, Craig brings the more tender plant life of the outdoors into the home.  Carefully arranged flowers adorn tabletops, breathing vitality to muted backdrops.  Irises, lilies, tulips, blandfordia, and delphiniums exhibit the colors of the rainbow.  Lemons and pears bring juicy colors and unexpected shapes to Craig’s sumptuous oil paintings.
