About Fiona
Fiona graduated with a BA (hons) in Fine Art from Lancaster University and an MA Illustration from Falmouth. She taught Art and Design in secondary schools for a number of years while also developing her own practice as a printmaker. In 2017 she left teaching to pursue her printmaking more seriously. She specialises in a non-toxic form of etching which uses a copper sulphate solution on aluminium plates. 

Fiona's inspiration is drawn directly from the world around her, from the countryside and open spaces. As a regular runner she is able to study the rural landscape while moving through it. Her method of etching onto aluminium captures the soft tonal differences in the layers light and texture within a landscape.  Much of her work has been based on her home county particularly the coastline around Hampshire/West Sussex boarder, though she also finds inspiration on her travels into more dramatic environments such as the Pembrokeshire or the Alps. 

Fiona works from her home studio in the heart of Hampshire. She also runs 61 Print Studio, a public printmaking workshop and studio space in Overton, Hampshire which runs classes, workshops and offers open access to experienced printmakers.
