“Fiona was an enormous help to us when we moved back to Australia. We wanted to feature Australian artists. She listened to what we wanted, shortlisted great artworks to suit our budget, and took us on gallery tours. Her knowledge of artists is second to none. In a short period of time we were able to select art we both loved and felt connected too.” Libby & Tom, Sydney 2021
