STATEMENT
Fransie’s art takes inspiration from her exposure to many cultures as well as from her experience in working with marginalised individuals as an art psychotherapist. Through her work, Fransie strives to bring to light and to provoke thought, concerning those issues dismissed by society. Adding 3D objects, allows her to communicate with the viewer through an alternate dimension. Fransie’s work can best be described as Artivism.
Fransie has also successfully written and illustrated a series of children’s books.
