Joined on Oct 29, 2020. Jess Franks is known for vibrant acrylic paintings that dance the line between realistic and abstracted. She uses the familiar structures of the natural world around her to explore new palettes, resulting in paintings that are at once both unexpected yet accessible. In between paintings, Jess has spent much of her time researching how social media and online commerce can create communities and sustain artists through untraditional avenues. She has found an incredibly interactive art-collecting community on Instagram and uses that platform as her primary location for studio updates and shop news (@jessfranksart). She lives with her husband and brood of children in New England.
