Fiona Wells Australian, Pitjatntjatjara, b. 1983

Fiona was born in Ernabella where she completed her schooling. She is family to leading ceramicist Tjimpuna Williams, and Fiona first came to an art centre to work alongside her in early 2015. Fiona has one daughter and two sons, and she divides her time between the art centre and family commitments.

 

Fiona is an emerging artist, experimenting with different styles and designs. She works in both ceramics and on canvas and her work is often pattern-based rather than descriptive or telling a story. Fiona creates her own walka (design) inspired by elements of Country and bush foods such as ili (native fig) and kampurara (bush tomatoes).
