Frances Watts British

Overview

Frances Watts is Somerset based artist, inspired by the shifting colours and shapes of the rolling landscapes of the South West.

 

Often working en plein air, Frances paints at a fast pace, invariably using a palette knife or a large brush to respond to her surroundings with vibrancy and texture.  Often employing vivid and striking colour palettes such as hot pinks and warm greens on board, Frances' works result in a refreshing, abstract, and modern twist on traditional landscape painting.

Frances holds a BA in fine art from Byam Shaw school of art and has pursued several years as a career working as an illustrator.
