While Ackerman’s work is diverse in style, it is deeply rooted in the practice of painting. Whether working on a wild abstract piece or a delicately rendered portrait, her approach is at once playful and meticulous. Through her painting, Fiona is continually reinventing the way she represents her world, her environment and the places of her imagination. This large painting incorporates multiple figures with parts of their bodies appearing, disappearing, coming in and out of focus through different lenses and windows of view. These playful, disjointed subjects stand on a earthy ground under the blue sky.
