FRANCES ASHCRAFT

Frances is a native of Mobile, Alabama and has been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember.  Frances received a formal education with a B.S. degree but longed to pursue art.  She has studied art throughout the years. With the guidance and coaching of her teacher and mentor she has taken a more serious approach to her work.  Frances is inspired by a vast assortment of subjects and feels that her paintings are a way of preserving all things in nature and life.  She finds painting both enjoyable and fulfilling.  Painting, to Frances, is a reflection of the spirit within.
