Passionate about Art & Textiles

The creative journey…

Passionate about Art and Textiles, especially of the woven kind, Fran began her creative journey as a weaver. Having trained initially as a linen weaver, she went on to commission short lengths of woven linen fabric to her own design from Mills in Ireland, Scotland and Belgium. 

More recently, as Fran has transitioned into semi-retirement, she has been rediscovering her love of painting.

β€œWomen have sat indoors all these millions of years, so that by this time the very walls are permeated by their creative force, which has, indeed, so overcharged the capacity of bricks and mortar that it must needs harness itself to pens and brushes and business and politics.”

Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

Virtual Gallery

From her home studio near Horsham, Fran creates artwork in a contemporary abstract style, working across a broad range of media including acrylic and graphite on both stretched and un-stretched canvas, board, paper, card, and, occasionally, her own linen fabric.

A selection of her artwork can be viewed and purchased in her virtual gallery.
