Fiona Watson was born in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, and moved to London as a child. She trained as a biologist and worked as a medical journalist until 1996. Studying Biological Sciences at Leicester University taught her to focus and explore possibilities, and gave her a view into an unseen world.
Her diverse body of work includes etching, digital prints, screenprinting, photography and collage, all characterised by a whimsical and sometimes cynical playfulness. A fascination with patterns, rhythms, forms and colours in nature initially led to a career in biological sciences and still influences her work today.
In 2015 Watson had her first solo show at Glasgow Print Studio, All of This is Anything, producing a large body of new works across several print media.
