A wedding and family photographer by trade for over two decades, Francy turned their passion to making original artwork in 2020 during the pandemic when their business was interrupted, and continues to look forward and growing their art career.
Through a time of loss they found new opportunity to explore the joy and continued passion within the creative processes of painting with encaustic. Using their photography as inspiration and oftentimes a base for their encaustic artwork has created a harmonious blend of their past and present.
Utilizing the age-old archival medium with new techniques to create modern works of art that invoke curiosity from collectors. Each art work is comprised from the finest encaustic medium, archival materials and substrates, resulting in beautiful textures and layers that are tactile and truly need to be appreciated in person.
A passionate and motivated artist, constantly striving to improve techniques, expand skillset and find new opportunities to grow and show their art through local exhibits, shops and shows.
