Frances is a multidisciplinary artist and advocate exploring the deep connection between creativity, mental health, and the small sparks of joy that keep us going. Having navigated intense personal challenges—including supporting a suicidal partner (who, thankfully, is still here) and surviving the trauma of being hit by a car alongside a suspected brain aneurysm—she understands just how overwhelming life can feel. These experiences have profoundly shaped her work, inspiring her to create spaces for reflection, healing, and connection.
For Frances, art has been more than an outlet—it’s been a refuge, a source of light in the darkest times, and a way to share that light with others. Through creating, self - love practices and spirituality, she has found healing and hopes to share that same sense of joy with the people of Mid Wales.Frances' latest series, Ancient Symbols of Power for Inner Strength, features tokens that connect us to our ancient past, empowering us with divine energy and support. Drawing from Celtic and Egyptian origins, each symbol serves as a reminder of strength, protection, and spiritual growth. These powerful symbols can be incorporated into daily life, enhancing personal energy. Frances also welcomes custom commissions, offering personalized designs to suit individual needs. Her latest series explores the relationship between joy and mantras, serving as a gentle reminder that we are all inherently worthy of love and of feeling good within ourselves. She hopes these pieces act as little pick-me-ups for anyone who needs a spark of brightness on tough days.
