Fiona Lee
Fiona Lee is a visual artist whose work blurs the line between protest, sculpture, installation, photography and video. After losing her house in the bushfire crisis of 2019/20 Fiona completed a 12 month Bushfire Affected Artist residency at The Creator Incubator (TCI) in Newcastle where she shaped unapologetic, political and provocative works from her home’s scorched remnants that spoke to both her personal loss and the impact of climate change on us all.
In 2021 Fiona had her first solo exhibition in a decade Carbon Tax at The Creator Incubator, which was then shown at Maitland Regional Art Gallery and Manning Regional Art Gallery. In 2021 Fiona was also commissioned to create work for the exhibitions The Art of Protest at Newcastle Art Gallery and This is Not Art Response, was a profiled artist on ABC ArtWorks TV, invited to contribute to Fire at CLIMARTE Gallery in Melbourne and received the Maitland Regional Art Gallery Artist Bursary.
