Fiona bursts through the door, a woman desperately in need of another drink. With a drink in hand and her foot on propped on the nearest barstool, Fiona wields her wry sense of humor like nunchucks and strikes up a conversation with whoever is ‘fortunate’ enough to suffer the blow. More often than not her wit incites a few cringes, but most leave laughing, if somewhat sheepishly. When she alights at home again, she wanders around her house petting a cat who she calls “Possum.”

Wandering the globe, Fiona was riding camels in the desert yesterday and finds herself on a bus bound for Queens today. Her rootlessness seems to make her thirsty and she can drink you under the table. Betcha. The trouble with “Nomadding” is that you always know you’ll never see these folks again; which is sometimes okay. Regardless, Fiona’s is a story for the ages and each tale is woven through her worn body.

Fiona loves to hang or display alongside Eloise, Astrid and Willa. She can be backlit to reveal her layers.
