I paint primarily in oil, frequently exploring digital art through video, film creation, artificial intelligence, and new mobile apps. An American artist, born in Memphis, TN, I've exhibited my paintings in brick & mortar galleries in five states, Washington DC, as well as China and India, plus numerous other venues and benefits. I seek to create harmonious images expressing love of life and find inspiration in travel, having visited twenty countries, and forty-six states in the U.S.
While partially self taught through studying the works at the great art museums of the world and reading books, I've also taken art classes at the Art Students League of New York, the Torpedo Factory in Virginia, George Mason University, the Corcoran Art Museum Open Program, and others. My art resume, though not updated recently, is online at karenefrancis.com/Resume.html Big thanks to my collectors.
If interested in my original paintings, please send me an email at kfrancis427@icloud.com to arrange to purchase. Fine Art America is the authorized publisher of prints of my work and I have 300+ works uploaded here. Their watermark saying 'Fine Art America' that appears across the lower right on most images on this site will NOT appear on the completed prints created.
Everything from towels, to mobile phone covers, mugs to T-shirts, can be ordered with art images imprinted on it. I find the spiral notebooks, tote bags, blankets, mugs to be useful.
