Hi, I’m Fran!

I’m an Artist and Creative Producer

I specialise 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.

  • "Fran has a real gift for reflecting your ideas back in a way that helps them grow into something stronger. 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)

  • 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
