Fiona Small, a multidisciplinary artist born on San Juan Island, Washington, discovered her creative passion from an early age and began exhibiting her work at age 11. After studying musical theater at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York, she delved deeper into the arts during her six-year residency in Colorado. Fiona was recognized with Naropa University’s Rising Artist Award upon graduating with a BA in Music and a Minor in Performance in 2020. Her work explores multi-sensory experiences, neurodiversity, environmentalism, grief, contemporary clowning, and whimsy through vibrant collage, performance art and multimedia pieces. After spending 2.5 years in Vermont and collaborating with renowned musicians including Moira Smiley, Seamus Egan, and Mikahely, Fiona is now back on the San Juan Islands.
