ABOUT FRANCES
My artistic journey is deeply rooted in the elegance of functional porcelain ware.
I explore two main avenues: using porcelain as a canvas for intricate illustrations, and appreciating its inherent beauty through minimalistic glaze applications.
These approaches avoid artistic excess, highlighting the material’s natural allure.
Clay, amongst all mediums I’ve explored, presents unique challenges and rewards.
It transforms from a seemingly mundane substance into an expression of enduring beauty and functionality, reflecting a creative evolution through each stage of its metamorphosis.
