Fiona Hamann Art & Musings

Fiona is an Australian Kurrajong-based artist painting native birds, still life, landscapes and figurative works in oils and acrylics, with a focus on light, colour and the character of my subjects.

Pink Punk

$500.00

30 × 40cm Original Acrylic on Canvas (Unframed)

Pink Punk captures that combination of swagger, curiosity and just a little bit of mischief. With his extravagant pink crest standing to attention, this male galah looks as though he’s fully aware that all eyes are on him. The galah is sometimes dismissed as a bit of a clown, but up close there’s something wonderfully handsome about the males, with their vivid pink plumage and unmistakable personality.
Painted in a loose, expressive contemporary style, Pink Punk is built up predominantly with a palette knife, using layers of impasto to create the rough, feathery texture of the bird rather than describing every feather in fine detail. Bold, broken strokes of pink, magenta, grey and white give the plumage movement and energy, while the muted blue-grey background allows his flamboyant crest to take centre stage.

Jewel in the Desert

$210.00

Oil on thick edge canvas
14.5 x 14.5 cm approximately 6 x 6 inches (unframed)

Jewel in the Desert
A flash of iridescent blue cuts across the red earth. An Australian fairy wren gleams like a precious stone against the harsh desert landscape. Its electric blue feathers shimmer in contrast to the ochres and rusts of the outback, while small pops of green ground foliage sparkle nearby, jewels in their own right.
The painting celebrates those unexpected moments of delight found in harsh places. It is a reminder that beauty often appears where you least expect it.

Still Life with Lemons and Olive Leaves

$330.00

Acrylic on Wood (Requires Framing)

30cm (W) x 40cm (H) x 2.5cm (D)

A celebration of light, texture and timeless simplicity, Still Life with Lemons and Olive Leaves captures the quiet beauty of everyday objects. Three sunlit lemons rest on a richly patterned blue-and-white ceramic plate, balanced by the deep blue tones of a decorative vase filled with freshly cut olive branches. The earthy palette of warm neutrals allows the vibrant yellows and blues to take centre stage, creating a harmonious composition that feels both fresh and classic.
Painted in expressive acrylic brushstrokes on wood panel. Layers of energetic marks and subtle tonal shifts bring movement and depth, inviting the viewer to linger over the interplay of colour, light and texture.

Where the Pandanus Grows

$450.00

Acrylic, Canvas, Ready to hang (unframed)

30cm (W) x 30cm (H) x 3.5cm (D

Inspired by the north coast of New South Wales, 'Where the Pandanus Grows' is as much about the pull of people as it is about place. Pandanus trees lean over the sand and brilliant blue water, while two tiny surfers make their way along the beach in the distance. Painted from memories of a coastline I return to often (a place entwined with family and a much-loved friend who lives that way) the work captures that familiar journey north, where some stretches of coast have come feel like markers of belonging. With the flourescent pink underpainting popping through in place i wanted to convey the joy of arriving somewhere that holds people you love, and the feeling that some places become part of us because of who is waiting there.

Where the Flannel Flowers Grow

$450.00

Mixed Media, Canvas, Framed by Artist

42.5cm (W) x 52cm (H) x 2.5cm (D)

Inspired by the beauty of the Australian bush, Where Flannel Flowers Grow celebrates one of our most treasured native wildflowers. Soft white blooms emerge from a tapestry of layered greens, blue-greys and earthy tones, capturing the wild, untamed spirit of the landscape.
Created with expressive layers of acrylic and oil stick to evoke the feeling of walking through native scrub where flannel flowers bloom naturally after the right conditions. Rather than botanical precision, the work focuses on atmosphere, movement and the interplay of light across foliage and petals as they burst out of the surrounding undergrowth.
