Hello!
My name is Fi.
Ever since I can remember, I have always loved art.
I love admiring it, creating it, teaching it and exhibiting it! I love admiring it on fabrics, on the walls, on ceramics and tiles, book illustrations, stage set designs, street art and on canvas.
I vividly remember standing at an easel, when I was in Kindergarten, painting a massive daisy with everyone standing around admiring it. The feeling of excitement painting this daisy, the reaction of others - and how much joy it gave - was the best feeling!!
I completed my Visual Arts degree and continued studying to complete my Diploma in Education. For 13 years I taught as a Visual Arts teacher. The class sizes were too big, and I felt frustrated that I couldn’t spend more time with each kiddo individually: this is when Art Kids on the Hill was born.
In 2012 I started teaching a couple of kids in my dining room. From there, my business blossomed………we took over the spare room and then we turned my husband’s garage into the studio! Such fun times. Then, as my business grew, it was time to open a studio in the community.
I have a gorgeous, little, bustling studio located in beautiful Gooseberry Hill, in the Perth Hills. I teach little kiddos, big kiddos and grown-ups! I just love it!!
