Fran is an artist; an educator, neither overshadows, they simply entwine and enrich one another. She lives in the Blue Mountains, Australia on the edge of a national park.

At a young age Fran discovered the value of creating art in her daily life. The act of art helped Fran express her identity. She began to see how creating art helped other aspects of my life and learning.

Fran is inspired by nature, patterns, form and texture. Each created piece portrays a slice of life, a perspective of the world in which we all live. Her mediums span painting and jewellery to collage and stitching. They all bring joy.

Fran is most comfortable in the studio classroom teaching art either face to face or online. It fills her soul to help others learn by exposing them to materials and techniques of Fran's trade and then develop their skills and confidence in the creative medium.

Through support, conversation and laughter, she sets a welcoming scene of free expression.

Ladybird Design Creative Studio is the culmination of creating a life around Fran's passions of art, jewellery and teaching. It frees Fran to take a piece of silver, blank canvas or paper, turn it into a beautiful thing and share it with the world every day. Fran believes now more than ever that pursuing one’s passions makes life more colourful and vibrant, gives us pleasure and purpose, but most of all it reminds us of who we are.

Fran would love to share the joy of creating and making with you.
