Fiona Joy Hawkins

As an artist and composer Fiona writes orchestrated classical piano music and uses the manuscript on the canvas. She paints bright abstracts but composes contemporary classical music usually in a minor key. The viewer can see and hear the music at the same time. Fiona has been painting for ten years and writing music since she was a child. Her love of music can be seen in her paintings. “I believe in the power of music as a source of inspiration and way of reaching people, and I can transfer a musical quality through my art to the canvas.”

Fiona has been exhibiting and selling consistently since 1997 and is represented by Butterflies Gallery in Pokolbin, The Gallery in Blackheath NSW and Sassafras Creek at Kurrajong. Her studio is situated in beautiful Little Hartley in the Blue Mountains, NSW Australia.

Her bold and expressive style has attracted positive critical attention. Fiona has studied with many acclaimed artists as well as the Arthur Boyd Education Centre.
