About the Maker: A graduate of ANU School of Art (2013), Fran works from a home studio in inner-city Canberra, Australia. Design work and community teaching with the Canberra Potters complement her art-making. With a focus on process-driven making, and drawing on her background as a Social Worker, she runs experiential/well-being workshops.
A current finalist in the 2024 North Queensland Ceramic Awards, Fran has also been a finalist in the Goulburn Art Award (2022); the Little Things Art Prize (2018) and the Palliative Care Art Prize (2017). In 2019, she was awarded first place for 3D Art in the Foot Square - Small Pieces Competition (Brisbane).
In 2023 Fran was awarded a Highly Commended in the ART EDIT Art Edit Self-Represented Artist Award and featured in that magazine.
She has recently returned from undertaking a 5 week residency with C.R.E.T.A Rome in Italy and she is excited to have developed new making methods to apply to her studio practise.
This September/October she will be exhibiting works online and in Berlin with Galeria Azur.
