About Me

Hello, my name is Fiona Weir , an illustrator and visual artist from Melbourne, based on the Mornington Peninsula . I love to explore the both the whimsy and quirky as well as more classical styles of fine art and illustration. I am greatly inspired by nature, childrens books and illustrators of long ago. I  completed both the Diploma of Visual Art (illustration) 2017 and the Advanced diploma of Visual Arts 2018 after finishing a career in nursing. I have always been passionate about drawing and started at a young age. In 2019 I completed courses held by art agent Lilla Rogers and continue to develop my skills  by completing various online course work .
I not only work with ink , gouache and graphite, but I have been exploring the use of digital drawing and painting processes with Procreate, aiming to deliver images on various canvases including wood panels, textiles and print. I love  to capture playful imagery, nostalgia and sentiment .Whether it is observing the small details of nature or illustrating  whimsical scenes , I aim to create vignettes that enable the viewer to engage and be enchanted. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding commissions or possible projects you may have in mind .
