About Fiona Temple​

​

Fiona Temple grew up on Banks Peninsula and now lives in Christchurch. She studied art at school and more recently has taken classes and workshops with artists Min Kim, Livia Dias, Sarah Garland . She works in oils on canvas and board. Through her study of history, classics and English literature at university and a career in bookselling, Fiona has a passionate interest in women of the past both real and imagined. Her paintings are a glimpse into their lives and the stories they tell. She enjoys the juxtaposition with contemporary New Zealand landscape to bring them into a modern and personal context.
