About Fi

Fiona Flohr (Fi) is an Australian artist who specializes in the use of clay and fibre to create artworks that tell a story.

Based in Mackay, Queensland Fi has been working in the creative arts space for more than 20 years, developing her own style and passing on her knowledge and skills to the community through workshops.

Fi is known for her expressive ceramic garden art, intricate fibre art, and her unique costume design.

In 2017 Fi’s designs were brought to the attention of a ballet company based in New York, who have commissioned her to produce costumes for an upcoming international production, touring Australia this year.

A passionate community advocate and educator, Fi encourages the use of creative expression to connect people to their stories.

Fi's Story

Fi is inspired by the world that surrounds her. What she see’s, feel’s, and the connection made with nature. Her creative flow is connected to her feeling of freedom.

Her art is inspired by the beautiful rainforest, beaches and cliffs of her birthplace and stories she imagines when she’s in these places.

Clay & fibre has brought her back to her basic human senses. The need to create with something she can touch, feel, and mould.

Rarely is her art smooth or perfect. If perfection exists, it’s only temporary, growing, living, eroding, and ultimately dying returning to the earth.

Some of her art follows stories into the In-between of what could be if we close our eyes and imagine.
