VISUal artist

Direct work en plein air is central to Frances’ site-responsive practice. Her Dorset studio home-ground is fringed by sea. Imagery emerges out of a relationship between the stuff of place and all she brings to it. The works acknowledge the permanent impermanence in experience.

The studio became a private space this year: playground and depository. I’ve made a lot this year- and I’ve done a lot of listening. I’m thrilled to begin to share the new work with you all.

The studio will open its doors for DORSET ART WEEKS 2021. See DORSET COAST for a taster of works in the studio

I’ll be open by appointment every day. Book your slot below so your visit can be safely managed as regulations allow.

DAILY DURING DAW – I’ll be offering themed videos every morning on Instagram and via this page.
