Fiona completed her Visual arts degree at QUT in 1993. She is a dedicated artist and art educator, whose latest series
explores the aspects of human behaviour that compares to animals. They invite the viewer to escape the ceaseless demands of adulthood and rebel against the expectations of responsibility by reclaiming their childhood.  Her playful use of acrylics and other media create movement, excitement and give attitude to her hybrid figures.

Fiona has held numerous solo and group exhibitions on the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth and has been a finalist in many art awards. She was the 2007 winner of ‘Going Public-New and Emerging artists’ award at the Town Hall Gallery Melbourne. Fiona is the recipient of two Gold Coast City Council regional art grants. Her works are found in collections in England, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, Canada and most capital cities of Australia.
