About Me

I live on an old farmstead in the Heartland and love the country life!

I specialize in paintings of old barns, farmhouses and quiet rural landscapes, found along the back roads of America. I hope that you will enjoy viewing my original landscape paintings!

I received a BFA in Fine Art and my original art has been shown in juried gallery art shows in the U.S. I am currently represented by The Chait Galleries Downtown, Artful Home and Ugallery. My web site: www.francegallery.net.

My paintings can be private collections throughout the U.S.A. as well as in: Iceland, France, Canada, Belgium, Ireland, England, Scotland, Portugal, Italy, Japan, Zimbabwe, Australia and Brazil. An article about my original heartland landscape paintings was in the fine Art Magazine "Empty Easel". I have been happy to have my paintings featured as cover art on several book covers now: Praying With Your Whole Heart, Three Ways of Loving God, and Cinagro Farm, Family Favorites from the Farm and beyond...
