Careeredit
Fitzharris is mostly known for her handbuilt doll-like figures, and although working primarily in ceramics also incorporates found materials.[3]
Fitzharris won Merit Awards at the Portage Ceramic Awards in 2002, 2010 and 2014.[1] She also won the People's Choice Award at the New Zealand Potters exhibition in 2010.[1][4]
In 2011, Fitzharris had an exhibition called "Walk" at the Blue Oyster Art Project Space in Dunedin. Fitzharris mostly works in ceramics, but for Walk she travelled by foot from her home in Waitati to the gallery in central Dunedin, using beeswax to make small beads as she went, and incorporating found materials.[5]
In 2017, Fitzharris won the Doris Lusk Ceramics Residency.[6]
Fitzharris won a Tylee Cottage Residency in 2018, during which she invited local residents to share significant ceramic pieces with her, to create a "library of things" for her to respond to with her own work.[7][2] The resulting exhibition "things don't end at their edges" was shown at the Serjeant Gallery from March to June 2019.[8]
Fitzharris spent much of 2019 as artist in residence at Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Japan, exploring traditional Japanese ceramic techniques and finishes.[9] She was also a finalist for the Wallace Arts Trust Awards in 2019.[10]
