Hello, I'm Fionne
I listen to stories and narrate them through:
Ethereally delicate flower arrangements
Sincere heartfelt words
Lens of my camera
Transcending all things Ethereal into Eternal.
ABOUT FIONNE
If time could turn back itself; never in my wildest dreams would I imagine myself to be doing what I am doing now.
I grew up in a working class family on a small island called Singapore. My parents grafted throughout their lives to provide for me and my siblings; we had nothing to worry about. Instead of pursuing a life of their dreams, they placed their dreams and hopes onto me. Thus, all throughout my life, I wanted to be a good daughter by studying hard, graduating from a university and then working in the corporate world.
By God’s gracious plan, my husband and I had the opportunity to experience a life abroad. For a large part of our adult lives, we resided in Hong Kong before moving to London (UK), where I am currently based. And as if a shell had exploded inside, being out of my comfort zone brought new challenges. Flowers were an unexpected turn in my life; they provided solace to my heart and, by a stroke of luck, I discovered this newfound talent of mine.
I realised, however, that healing was never going to be a straight line and, like a spiral, I kept finding myself back in similar situations time and again, inviting me to use my gift to help others. It took a long time for me to find my own path.
Now, I am ready to share what I have learned and experienced with others.
Starting from my own story.
From
Ethereal
To
Eternal
Even if...
I will still Love You
It began on a day not out of the ordinary, whilst watching a video of my niece, that I began to wonder how much she would be able to remember my grandmother in the future. Our family don’t talk much about these things; we are not expressive and tend to keep our feelings and emotions inside. I wondered how beautiful it would be if I could capture my grandmother’s story, as she deserves all the love and beauty in this world.
We are ordinary people. So ordinary that one day, when our memories fade, there will be nothing left behind.
But these pictures and words will remain for evermore.
It started with my own story. I would love to listen to and capture your story as we build this gallery together into everlasting precious memories. Each chapter is meticulously crafted, skillfully weaving words, flowers and images to create a captivating story that unfolds with every turn of the page.
If this resonates, I would love to work with you.
