By layering pigmented alcohol inks and applying experimental techniques, Fran creates a sense of flow and depth in her work. The symbiotic collaboration with the inks yields surprising outcomes—making each piece completely one-of-a-kind.
Water features heavily in Fran’s work—its fluidity, movement, and unpredictability mirror the way alcohol inks flow across the surface, creating pieces that feel organic and alive. Just as Fran collaborates with the inks, we must collaborate with nature, protecting the waters that sustain us.
That’s why Fran is committed to donating 2% of every original painting sale to The Ocean Cleanup, a charity working to remove plastic from our rivers and oceans. Keeping them clean isn’t just about the environment—it’s about preserving the beauty, serenity, and life force that water brings to all life on Earth.
