Hello, 

It’s lovely to meet you. My name’s Fiona and I’m a writer, arts facilitator and change maker based in Glasgow. I also organise, run and evaluate creative and cultural events, including large scale conferences, festivals and tours, with a particular emphasis on accessibility by design.

My work is intersectional and interdisciplinary, and sits across theatre, literature and community artivism/change making. As a facilitator and practitioner, I work with early experience artists, using trauma competent approaches and exploring the power of stories for social change. I’ve collaborated with artists from 0-95 in professional, educational and community settings, using creativity to help people explore their individual and collective identities, ask important questions or provide innovative solutions to problems.

All of my work is centred around stories and approaches to storytelling. I believe that stories, in whatever format, have incredible power in the world, and my professional purpose is about holding space for stories, whether mine or other peoples’, to be told. 

I believe in access to creativity and culture as a human right and a fundemental part of living well. We all hold a wealth of stories in us, but I’m curious about who gets to tell stories, which stories prevail and what can happen if important stories don’t get told. I’m aware that not everyone has had equal opportunities to tell stories throughout history, and I’m particularly interested in fragmented and form-bending stories, archival silence, or stories that are at risk of being lost. Themes of loss, renewal and re-invention are often key in my work. 

My artistic practice is shaped by my experience as a neurodivergent person, with lived experience of long term health conditions and complex trauma. My artistic practice is also a strong foundation of my self-care. On weekends, you will often find me curled up with a book, or exploring Scotlands woods and lochs in my campervan.
