Guided Tour and Studio Visit

Halifax, United Kingdom
The Artworks Gallery is pleased to be hosting Fiona Pickles as artist in residence in our gallery space. As winter turns to spring Fiona will be experimenting with a variety of different materials and creating amazing floral installations.
After almost twenty years working in the printing industry Fiona created Firenza Floral Design (later Firenza Flowers) in 2005, designing mainly contract flowers and weddings.
In 2012, guided by the love of her garden and determined to further embrace her natural aesthetic, Fiona started growing a few herbs and flowers as well as using local, artisan flower growers, when there were very few small-scale cut flower growers in the UK.
In 2015 Fiona started a new journey embracing her love of the imperfect and unusual and at the end of 2020 she finally started working under her name.
In January 2022 Fiona fully embraced being a creative and an artist by starting her residency here at Artworks. Still working with florals and botanicals, Fiona is also developing other disciplines, techniques and ways to embrace imperfection and nature.
