About

Fabiola graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Education in Visual Arts. Her major study in textiles would inform her future development as a printmaker.

Originally from Sicily, she spent her formative years in Australia and moved to the UK in 1996.

Her work explores a sense of place and identity through landscape and still life objects, taken from daily life and personal experience. Landscapes reference real places, often drawn from the memory of a place, sometimes merging places together. Her limited palette helps to render light and atmosphere.

Using both intaglio and relief techniques, she employs a range of traditional and experimental methods in her printmaking. Drawing is at the core of Fabiola’s creative practice, being the starting point for examining subject matter and developing each new body of work.

Her current work is an exploration of landscape throughout seasonal changes and at different times of day. Light remains a constant preoccupation, fascinated by the way it can transform an object or landscape in so many ways.
