Frances is an artist and educator living in Massachusetts, by way of New Orleans. Stemming from her life-long adoration of color, Frances work reverberates with pattern and texture. Pieces explore the relationship we share with the larger turns of the natural world, sprinkled with our everyday moments of delight. Often working from memories and sketchbook drawings, her work is narrative, each piece unfurling a layer of an ever-expanding story. Creating with oils, charcoal, collage, textiles and watercolor, Frances possesses an incredible artistic range and versatility.
Thriving in the collaborative realm, Frances’ penchant for crossing mediums has led her to a variety of projects with chefs and restaurant groups, among others. Notably, with James Beard award winners and Michelin recommended Link Restaurant Group and Alon Shaya. She has also partnered with the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans Children’s Hospital, and Tenacre Country Day School to create community through arts workshops and lectures.
Outside of the studio, Frances teaches art to elementary age students several days a week. She’s often found digging in the garden to plant an ever-increasing amount of flowers and playing excessively heated games of Parcheesi with her husband and two children.
