About Fiona
Hello! I am a dedicated artist and experienced educator passionate about helping students unlock their creative potential. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from the prestigious School of Visual Arts in New York and have completed Master of Art History and Curatorial Studies at the Australian National University in 2024. My approach is to create a supportive and encouraging environment where you can develop both your technical skills and your unique artistic voice. My teaching experience is diverse, ranging from leading Brush Painting, drawing, oil and acrylic courses for adults to guiding young children in kindergarten and primary schools as an Art Teacher Assistant. As an active professional—a published children's book illustrator and freelance artist—I bring practical, real-world knowledge to every lesson. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I am committed to providing patient, professional, and personalized instruction to help you achieve your artistic goals with confidence. Let's create something beautiful together.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor
Beyond technique, Fiona is brilliant for art school portfolios. She constantly inspires creativity and offers unique ideas, guiding my daughter to create her own distinctive and interesting pieces that genuinely stand out. Love her and it’s really nice to be her student!
I met Fiona when she first came to Canberra. She is a really nice person. Her tips on proportions and perspective were spot-on and easy to follow. She made the basics interesting! Because the practice was structured but fun, I noticed my own work looking so much more professional after just a few sessions. If you want solid drawing fundamentals, Fiona is the tutor.
Fiona’s lessons are the best! She is so friendly and knows a ton about art. I used to just copy pictures, but she taught me real color theory and anatomy tips that actually stuck. She pushes you to improve but always makes the process fun. I'm drawing things now I never thought I could—her encouragement is next level!
I absolutely recommend Fiona to anyone seeking an art tutor for a young person or teenager. My 12-year-old had struggled with confidence before, but Fiona’s friendly manner immediately put her at ease. The classes are always fun, yet very professional. We have seen huge progress in just a few months; my daughter is happily learning real drawing techniques and always looks forward to her lesson. She is highly professional, incredibly friendly, and excels at tailoring her instruction. Whether it's guiding a beginner through fun acrylic painting or providing expert portfolio mentorship for the next step, her students gain tangible skills and a lifelong love for creating.
