Hello there! I'm Fran.

I’m a North London based portrait artist

I’ve loved all things creative for as long as I can remember, but it wasn’t until early 2023 that I began to pursue art more seriously. A friend introduced me to printmaking, and I was instantly captivated by the process - the rhythm of inking, pressing, and revealing an image felt endlessly rewarding. That practice became a doorway into a deeper connection with art, leading me to painting, where I’ve found a new and lasting fascination.

After five years travelling the world, I returned to the UK to settle down in Brighton and recover from Long Covid. As my energy returned, so did my creativity. I began printmaking during that time, studying at the wonderful BIP Art Brighton.

I have spend the last 18 months studying painting at London Fine Art Studios.

I have recently developed a fascination with the portrait, both in painting and in printmaking. I am particularly interested in capturing myself and those whom I know and love best.

I live in North London with my “golden retriever” husband and our beautiful (and occasionally stubborn) golden retriever teenager, Lola.
