Fitzharris was born in Wellington in 1974 and is based in Waitati, outside Dunedin in the South Island of New Zealand.
[2] Fitzharris is mostly known for her handbuilt doll-like figures, and although working primarily in ceramics also incorporates found materials.
[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.
[7][2] The resulting exhibition "things don't end at their edges" was shown at the Serjeant Gallery from March to June 2019.
