Fiona is a maker of beautiful marks
Susan Aldworth, internationally renowned Artist
Fiona Stevenson
Fiona’s abstract artistic practice captures the idea of an individual working in the wider world, while suggesting the business of touching on experience with a wonderful “take“ on the particularity that goes with inclusiveness, that is that we are all different but we are all one.
Fiona is not uncommon among people with Down’s Syndrome in mostly inhabiting her own worlds which we overlap at certain times. Painting or drawing every day places Fiona in her own framework and unites her with most artists for whom the language of making is their primary means of communicating and identifying themselves.
By visiting the virtual gallery rooms you can explore the strength of Fiona’s self recognition and the richness of her visual language and experience differing levels of complexity and power. You can sign up for updates about exhibitions and express interest in buying original
works.
It’s a joy to watch her work without preconceptions, but always with a clear objective in mind as she paints
