Picture
Fiona Cawley was born in Co. Sligo, she grew up in Ballina Co. Mayo and now lives in Kinvara Co. Galway.
In 2015 she graduated with a BA Art and Design Degree (Distinction) from the Centre for Creative Arts and Media, GMIT and was awarded a GMIT Academic Achievement Award.

As an emerging artist she recently had a solo show in the Ballina Arts Centre called "A Shared Space", she has been selected for exhibitions such as Cairde Visual, shortlisted for the Royal Academy of Art Summer Show 2018, was an invited artist at King House, Boyle Arts Festival in "Gathering" 2018, "Facing West" 2017 by curator Paul McKenna and invited to exhibit a Solo Show "GardenLand" in the Arts Corridor, University Hospital Galway (Arts Trust) in 2018.



Fiona Cawley is an expressive painter who is passionate about the physical act of paint application and the relationship between colours and gestural brush strokes often varying the application of thin and thick paint. The work is an emotional response to the landscape which may initially start as abstracted depictions spontaneously painted with usually no planned, preliminary work done beforehand. She allows the paint to dictate the beginning of each painting and uses her imagination when it comes to the subject matter. In recent work there has been a running theme of the sharing of the landscape with animals and the effect of the man-made on the environment. She is currently working on a new body of work.
