About the Artist      

This collection of hand-crafted prints explores the symbolism of transformation, femininity and openness to the universe, created during Frances's artist residency in Portugal.

Frances recently completed a one-month artist residency in the beautiful Portuguese village of Arraiolos, facilitated by Cortex Frontal. During this time, Frances investigated anthropomorphic vessels and their connotations of receptivity and openness to the world around us, as well as the icon of the Siren and her associations with transformation and adaptability. 

Frances’s Sirens are tokens of transformation, surrounded by whirls of wildflowers and whimsy - morphing between woman, bird and fish. Her Anthropomorphic Vessels are sculpted to signal receptivity to the universe's wonder, gifts, treasures and stories.

This collection contains Monoprints (single edition) and Lino Prints (limited edition run of 28). Each print was crafted by hand and printed using a studio press, with love and delight.

✶ We are playful vessels open to receiving all of the universe's wonder, gifts, treasures and stories 𐃯
