Fi’s work often begins with small everyday encounters with places, people, objects or materials, looking for poetry in the tangible.

She combines defined shapes, territories, boundaries, and borders with accidental, fluid, and instinctive elements. The stories, associations and properties of materials sometimes lead the work.

She is interested in how a quick event, gesture or observation in the moment, such as the meeting of two coloured liquids, or a sensory experience, can be transcribed and reinterpreted through a slow and deliberate process such as Japanese woodblock carving and printing or carefully layered collage.

Earlier in 2024 she travelled to Japan to spend time exploring woodblock printing and is excited by the potential of this unique and beautiful printmaking practice for her work.

She grew up in Holmfirth, on the edge of The Pennines and studied Fine Art in Liverpool and Public Art at Chelsea School of Art.
She worked in Public Art and Education for many years in different contexts.
Her work has been shown in local and national exhibitions including Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, Ty Pawb International Print exhibition, Wells Contemporary and Royal West of England Academy, Rye Art Gallery and Lido Stores Margate.
She now lives and works in Hastings.
