Fiona has exhibited in galleries, taught art to adults and children, and worked by commission for several decades. Her artworks are in private and public collections worldwide.

Growing up in a mountainous region in Australia, Fiona was greatly influenced by the natural environment. She was encouraged to make art at home and was also sent to various arts and crafts workshops and classes, including music and dance. Her mother was a fiber artist who held art classes for children for almost two decades, and her father was an architect who took up ceramics as a hobby. Fiona often assisted her parents with the children's art groups at home. She carried the family artistic tradition and love of the natural environment into her art career.
