In January 2023 Francesca was asked by Ruth Millington to be part of The London Art Fair/Sotheby’s as part of Ruth Millington’s curated exhibition ‘Reframing the Muse’. The exhibition is based on Ruth’s recently published book ‘Muse’ Penguin 2022.
'My aim with these abstracted landscapes is to create paintings that allow viewers to escape into the natural world. Each piece is based on real places, and through expressive brushstrokes and softened edges, I strive to create scenes that feel both familiar and dreamlike. I enjoy using a traditional palette and the interplay of light and dark to convey atmospheric natural landscapes.
Building on my classical background of creating still life and landscape work, the abstracts will not only stretch me as an artist, they will stretch the reach my art has - available at a more affordable price point, the goal is to have more pieces hanging on walls and even more people enjoying art. These abstracts are a combination of acrylic and oil paint.'
