Zinnia's # 2

Fiona O’Byrne is a Melbourne-based painter who finds extraordinary beauty in the quiet corners of domestic life. Her work - a collection of delicate still lifes and intimate portraits - serves as a visual "slow down," inviting the viewer to step away from the noise of the digital world and find rest in the ordinary.

Originally trained as a Landscape Architect, Fiona’s transition to oil painting in her mid-thirties brought a new perspective to her lifelong connection with nature. Whether she is painting a sprig of wattle gathered on a morning walk or a family member in a moment of repose, she seeks to capture the "quiet interiority" of her subjects through classical techniques and a rich, tactile surface.
