Fran began painting in 1997. She is a self-taught artist who enjoys experimenting with several mediums but prefers oil. She considers herself an intuitive painter and specializes in organic abstract pieces and landscapes that combine interpretive marks with fields of color. In Fran’s words,"Painting feeds my soul, keeps me in community and helps me find the extraordinary in the ordinary.” Fran is an artist at the Art Colony of Georgia in Gainesville; and exhibits her pieces with Caroline Nix Gallery and the Gallery on the Square both in Gainesville, GA. She is also available for commissions.
