In her pursuit of authenticity, Franca juggles the roles of working mom, wife, executive, and artist. In her spare moments, she transforms everyday materials into enchanting creations, blending upcycled textiles, papers, and cocktail umbrellas to highlight the contrast between life’s simple pleasures and our deeper purpose. Through her art, she delves into themes of value, allure and tranquility, weaving a compelling narrative. Franca views the artistic process as deeply personal, believing that the journey to self-discovery is worth the moments of uncertainty. For her, collage is a medium that perfectly balances intuition with deliberate action, satisfying her unique personality traits.

Franca holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Columbus College of Art and Design and a certificate in Sustainability Leadership from NYU. After two decades of exploration, she has returned to her hometown of Rochester, NY, where she lives with her husband and two children. Her work is featured in private collections across Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania.

When she is not creating art, Franca enjoys visiting local flea markets and thrift stores, seeking out forgotten treasures that inspire her next creative adventure.
