About the artist: 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. Fabiola’s drawing practice includes charcoal and mixed media. Her work is an exploration of seasonal changes. Light remains a constant preoccupation, fascinated by the way it can transform an object or landscape in so many ways.
