About Herbarium

Fiona Ackerman explores colour, texture and pattern in her botanical- themed paintings. This lively abstract composition explores the organic shapes and vivid colours of a lush herbarium in crimson, pink, purple and lime green.

“I realized that my botanical paintings were not really about nature but about my relationship to nature, my curiosity. My experience of nature as an outsider. About my hunger to understand nature. To feel at home in nature. My desire to love it and want to protect it rather than fear it.” Fiona Ackerman
