Art on a Postcard x War Child UK 2024 Part II

About
Fiona Carver is a painter from Rutland. She trained at Edinburgh College of Art graduating with a BA(hons) in Furniture Design before moving to London. Returning to Rutland in 2014 gave her the inspiration to start painting again and she now creates observational oil paintings from life, both ‘en plein air’ and in her studio. 

She is particularly drawn to still life and is inspired by the cool winter light and the subtle way it hits her subjects. Her low-key palette gives the paintings a calm and intimate quality, drawing the viewer in. She chooses her objects for their shape and colour and the way they interact with each other, but also for her connection to them and their history.

She has exhibited with the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Royal Birmingham Society of Artists and been shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. In 2023 she won the British Contemporary Award at The Artist and Leisure Painter Exhibition. Her work has been included in a number of print making books and has appeared on the cover of Country Living Magazine.
