Fiona Anderson BVSc(hons)

Fiona is a practicing small Animal Veterinarian. Brought up on the edge of Melbourne,she was surrounded by a menagerie of wildlife,pets and farm animals,helping her to develop her interest in the animal world .Ducks were early subject material then later the enthusiasm turned to horses both to ride and to draw.Art took on a back seat as Fiona completed a University Degree in Veterinary Science with honors.There was simply no time even to sketch with long work hours first in country Victoria then working in a busy Melbourne welfare hospital.It was only after leaving this busy hospital,and the gift of a box of pastels,she started to draw and paint again.Fiona is actively involved in the Wildlife Artist Society of Australasia,the Pastel Society of Victoria and Friends of the Zoo Art Exhibition.She has also had work accepted for the 2006 RSPCA Wildlife of Australia Calender.You can find Fiona’s work at Flinders Fine Art Gallery and Sorrento Fine Art Gallery.
