Fiona Verdouw is a Hobart-based landscape painter whose work draws deeply from the natural beauty of Tasmania and the broader Australian environment. Originally trained in graphic design and illustration, Fiona gradually shifted her creative focus toward painting, eventually committing fully to her art practice.

Her representational landscapes are inspired not by iconic landmarks, but by the quiet beauty found in everyday moments in nature—bush tracks, eucalyptus trees, shifting light, and the distinctive textures and colours of the Australian wilderness. Whether painting in the studio or en plein air, Fiona’s work invites viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the natural world.

Born in Germany, raised in South Australia, and now settled in Tasmania, Fiona brings a rich personal perspective to her work. Her paintings resonate with a strong sense of place and often evoke a deep nostalgia, offering a visual escape grounded in the light, colour, and atmosphere of the Australian landscape.
