“Serpents are often associated with healing, rebirth and immortality due to their ability to shed their skin. Personally, this piece symbolised transformation; having just begun therapy and treatment, intense healing would start to change my life.”

Inspired by strong feminine attributes, she creates classic portraiture with symbolic, geometric and natural elements.
Her work tends towards mixed-media paintings, composed of both oil and acrylic, among others.
Ultra-smooth wooden and metal panels are the chosen "canvas" for these art pieces, adding to the mystical, humanesque-like quality of the finished portrait. With the final piece uninterrupted by brush strokes and texture, this allows the artist to add minute details and a surreal-like finish that would have otherwise been unachievable.
Francesca has a background in 3D animation and studied Software Development for Animation, Games and Effects at the NCCA at Bournemouth University. This technical background has inspired some of the more mathematical and algorithmic elements of her work, whilst simultaneously incorporating classic portraiture techniques.
Francesca was inspired to practice art after a long battle with chronic illness.
She was left completely bed-bound for 5 years and had to rely on others for everything. After various treatments failed, she turned to alternative therapies. One alternative medical practitioner advised her to return to one of her earliest passions, art.
What started as an uphill battle due to such severe allergies that required Francesca to paint wearing both a mask and gloves, turned into a beautiful escape into a world that was completely her own. Her first piece "Philautia", from the Greek meaning self-love, started off this adventure. The idea that physically creating something beautiful would help her appreciate being trapped in a body that didn't work properly. It was this piece that cemented the revelation that Francesca wanted to practice art professionally.
Each piece is a mirror of her journey, from "Serpentina", inspired from the ideas about progression and change, to "Aeonia, inspired by the ageless themes of infinite time and total freedom.

Hello!
I'm Dawnie Thompson, a self-taught artist with a background of many creative projects achieved over the years.
With a growing passion for photography, loving all things nature, especially birds, I'm out and about everyday with my dog Sun (who's very patient with me), walking the inspiring South Downs or crunching over the pebbles here in Newhaven or its neighbouring beaches, admiring the everchanging sky capturing a sunrise or sunset.
Currently all works are originals only. Prints will be available upon request on all future art works... coming soon.
I am a member of Newhaven Art Club.
