Our conversation will explore Fiona’s career, from commercial illustration to self-initiated projects, looking at how she has built a distinctive visual style and sustained a creative practice across advertising, branding, editorial and heritage work. We will also dig into the role of DIY art movements and community in shaping a creative career.
Following the talk, there will be time to ask questions, mingle, and connect.
