Fiona Morehouse seeks to expand points of connection through grounded presence. Her paintings explore a sense of home place within the tension of the human experience. Comfortable at the crossing point of ease and dis-ease, Fiona paints predominantly with a palette knife and sometimes with her fingers, creating an energetic narrative that transcends time and space. With vibrant color and rhythmic movement, her style of expressive realism provides an invitation to explore the dwellings of the mind and the landscapes of the spirit.
Fiona’s work can be found in private collections around the world. She has studied art in Italy, has made art in India, and has taught art in New Zealand and Central America. She has founded and directed 3 different community-based art studios, owned and operated an art gallery and performing arts space, and has multiple permanent public art installations across the country.
Fiona studied fine art and music at McDaniel College where she received her BFA in 1999. She continued graduate study in ceramic art at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland and then painting at The Art Students League in New York. She now lives and works in Putney, Vermont and Vinalhaven, Maine.
