Welcome
Fiona Donald’s focus finds its roots in observation; what is seen; lived with; and felt over time. Her practice follows the rhythms and cycles of the natural world and she is driven from a sense of urgency when working from direct experience. Walking, drawing, looking, collecting. Responding through haptic drawing, ground plant pigments and paint to capture pathways, trajectories, tracing the movement of passing time.
Through this constant analysis, Fiona seeks to visualise a reciprocal conversation that takes place between the motif, the image and herself, trying to find a connection to ‘the thing’, its energy and the energy of its surroundings.
Fiona has an M.A in Fine Art from Manchester Metropolitan University and has taken part in exhibitions throughout Europe and the North West. She is a member of Suite Studio Group in Salford and a lecturer at The Manchester College.
