Art by Fran B

My Gallery

Welcome to my gallery, featuring paintings and artworks that I have completed since I started my art journey in 2017. Since then I have discovered that my passion and my skill lies in portraiture – accurately capturing the individuality and unique personality of the subject , whether it is of a person or an animal.

I specialise in portraits of new-born babies (the perfect gift for new parents!) and of pets, working from photos supplied. Please contact me if you are interested in commissioning a painting.

To view some of my paintings, you can visit the Cherry Café on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula in Auckland, New Zealand, where I have a permanent exhibition. The cafe also makes a great coffee and lunch stop!
