Hello, I am Fiona. I am an artist, teacher and mother passionate about creativity!

I have been teaching for thirty years and enjoy working with children. I believe in the Reggio Emilia Approach which is an educational philosophy that believes children are capable of constructing their own knowledge. Each child is rich in potential. They are curious and resourceful. Children have many ways of thinking, expressing themselves, and learning. I am happiest when I am in a teaching role where I can guide and nurture children to express themselves authentically and creatively.

I have taught in both public and private schools in Western Australia, Canberra, New South Wales and Victoria. At St Francis Xavier Primary School in Geraldton I was responsible for an Extension Program. We entered Tournament of Minds, an International educational program requiring students to solve demanding, open-ended challenges as a collaborative team. We were successful in making it to State and National Finals with my Social Science team winning an Australian Final. 

It has become my mission to create and provide opportunities for children and adults to explore their own creativity. It believe it is important we explore our feelings, thoughts and imaginings and learn to communicate our own ideas through the infinite possibilities that can be found through creative expression. I also believe it is through our creativity we can express who we really are. This is where we can find our own true worth and offer our unique gifts to the world.
