When my little sister was young she could not pronounce the 'S' in my first name, but rather she called me Fia. This nickname has always been a pleasant reminder of my sister, and was one of the first lasting gifts a child gave me. Now, I hope to create lasting memories for children and families through my illustrations and stories.

I grew up in the woods of New Hampshire before receiving my BFA in painting from Boston University (MA, 2011) and my MFA in Fine Arts from Newcastle University (UK, 2015). After traveling around the UK, Maine, Spain, and Brooklyn I recently landed in Western Massachusetts. Halsey (that little bud below), his sister Coyote River, my partner and I just set up shop in the winter of 2021, in Gill where we are exploring collage and the local insect life.
