FIONA GRIMSHAW ART
New For 2027
Fiona Grimshaw is a mixed media artist whose abstract and semiabstract landscapes and seascapes are rooted in her memories rather than representation. Working with layered acrylics, textures, and intuitive mark-making, she creates compositions that explore atmosphere and emotion. With a background in graphic design spanning over three decades, she now finds full expression on canvas, inviting viewers into contemplative, immersive worlds shaped by colour, materiality, and the essence of nature.
