Fi Channon has been passionate about painting and drawing from an early age. As with many artists, what initially started out as a hobby soon evolved from painting purely for pleasure to creating pieces of artwork for friends. The transition from hobby to possible career had begun. To fund this effort, a more commercial enterprise was required resulting in Fiona setting up her own greeting card company for a short time.

Later, in an attempt to gain direction, Fiona decided to study graphic design at Farnborough Technical College. However, this was to be cut short by a car accident. It was during her recuperation and moments of solace that followed that she began to channel her artistic abilities. Working in mainly pastel and charcoal Fiona was able to use this medium to express her own personality and inner self.

Fiona’s fascination and understanding of the human form has resulted in her producing many portraits and commissions for private clients.

Today, Fiona works mainly with pastels and inks. Her inspiration comes not only from the physical world and her experiences from the various places she has lived, but also from the spiritual world through meditation, expressing her charismatic personality and her inner self. She creates each painting in a meditative state - being guided by feeling and intuition. The results are varied and rich and explains the different styles she produces.

Having lived in Greece with her family for nearly 9 years, Fi has now returned to England and is continuing to develop her work. She continues to produce new works and hold exhibitions around the country.
