In mixed media, Fiona Ackerman captures images of clouds and their natural cycle—water and rain, mountains and land. The colour palette is appropriately neutral—slate gray and clay punctuated by black and white. The Vancouver artist is known for her uniquely beautiful paintings and mixed media compositions that explore colour, texture, and patterns found in nature.

“Rooted in abstraction, I want to push my work in divergent directions, to surprise myself, and keep the possibilities for my painting wide open.” Fiona Ackerman
