Fiona West is a Zimbabwean-born Australian artist based in Brisbane. Her multi-media practice ranges from large-scale photographs to intimate sculptural projections that reflect on the nature of belonging. Fiona's voluntary migration forms the biographical foundation of her artistic practice.

 

Her sensory, playful approach combines materially-driven crafted works with digital imagery. Her use of visual tricks, nostalgia and memories help in keeping a sense of the fantastical and whimsical in her work that shares features of puppetry and surrealism.

​

Fiona has worked in the arts industry in South Africa, London and Australia, and has a Doctorate in Visual Arts through Griffith University, Brisbane. In addition to her visual art practice, to view her book illustrations and school resources, visit elephantshrewproductions.com
