Fiona Faumuina (b. 1985, Norfolk) is a London-based artist and healer whose textile and mixed-media practice explores touch, intimacy and the quiet forms of connection that shape daily life. Working with printed fabrics, beads, discarded textiles and digital imagery, she creates sculptural surfaces that sit between painting and textile, weaving together moments of joy, memory and embodied presence.

Her background in Reiki and ongoing training in Shiatsu informs the attentive, somatic quality of her process. The studio functions as both an artistic and healing space - a site where slowness, grounding and energetic awareness become part of the material language of the work. Each piece is shaped through acts of accumulation: the repetition of stitching, the weight of beadwork, the soft tension of fabrics and fibres. These gestures echo therapeutic touch, transforming ordinary materials into vessels for holding emotion, tenderness and care.

Fiona’s use of swirling digital images - dismantled, collaged and reassembled - reflect her interest in the fragility of memory and the instability of digital intimacy. By reworking these images through hands on processes, she reunites the sensory and the virtual, questioning what remains truly valuable in a culture of constant digital exposure.

Her work invites viewers into moments of pause, asking them to consider how touch, attention and the body can reorient our sense of connection to ourselves, to others and to the natural world.
