Fiona Wood is an artist based in Melbourne and Tolmie (near Mansfield). She divides her time between two properties getting the best of both worlds of beach and country life.

Her love of art and colour radiates in her everyday life. When her children were young she found she loved teaching children art and her studio Sunnyside Art House was born. She has spent the past 15 years teaching children, adults and NDIS participants the joy of living a creative life. Fiona loves being an active member of the local community and has participated in many community events.

Her own art work is continually evolving and she loves to try new things. Currently she is spending most of her time making small ceramics and painting. She also loves to make earrings so she has a pair to match every outfit!

Fiona sells her work at several shops and exhibits at art shows and galleries. She can be found behind the counter at Made in Mansfield and Artisans Alley Mornington.

When she's not creating, teaching or selling, Fiona can be found pottering in her garden. She loves flowers and being out in nature. Her love of plants is so great she owns over 200 house plants! She is very environmentally conscious and tries to live as sustainabily as possible.

Fiona has a love of animals and her holidays usually involve going to animal rescue centres around the world. The family own and foster so many animals their household is often referred to as the "Wood Zoo".
