Frances is an award-winning oil painter who grew up in West Palm and has lived and worked throughout the U.S. After studying art and painting for 10 years, she draws upon a lifetime of memories and experiences to express and create. Her current work focuses on direct observational or plein air painting, as well as live events.
"I'm fascinated by the constant change in what we consider our seure and familiar environment. I hope to capture the energy and essence of what appears right now, particularly those everyday scenes that are so much a part of our lives and that we take for granted until they disappear. Painting from direct observation is to me the most real and honest way to live in that moment."
