FIONA ACKERMAN STUDIO VISIT

Thanks to everyone who came to Fiona's studio, and to Fiona for opening up her studio to the CASV. It was great to hear Fiona discuss her work and the two streams of painting that she is currently creating. We wish her luck in her two upcoming exhibitions this spring. Below are some images of the visit.  We hope to see you on the 2nd of February for the Roselina Hung studio visit happening in two weeks time.
