Hi, I’m Fran!

I’m an Artist and Creative Producer, specialising in drawing, print and large-scale co-creation projects.

I grew up in the North York Moors National Park, graduating in 2009 from Newcastle University with a BA (Hons) Fine Art and now I live in Northumberland.

Rural landscapes and urban architecture have inspired my current collection of abstract screenprints.

I co-produce large-scale projects with creative teams & communities that enable more people to take part & make decisions about arts & culture.

  • "Fran has a real gift for reflecting your ideas back in a way that helps them grow into something stronger. When I asked Fran for advice on my DYCP application and we jumped on a call, I immediately knew I’d come to the right person. Fran has a rare ability to step into your shoes to shape your thinking and express it clearly. I recommend her highly.

  • Fran managed to see what I wanted to do with such clarity. I feel much better armed for my application!

    Louise Bradley (Artist)

  • Our conversation was REALLY helpful and allowed me to gain some clarity on some thoughts that have been swirling around for some time. I feel like I know what I am working towards more.

  • Fran is a strategic thinker who has an eye on the bigger picture at the same time as paying attention to the detail of project delivery. She enjoys collaboration and there are rich two-way benefits flowing between her work as an artist and as a producer

  • The best news! We were successful with the grant to Paul Hamlyn Foundation - we couldn’t have done it without all your help and support throughout this process.
