This is a wonderful story of someone who discovered their passion for art and pursued it wholeheartedly. It's inspiring to see how Franci transitioned from a successful corporate career to following her dream of becoming a full-time artist.

​

Sometimes, our hidden talents can surprise us. Franci discovered her ability to draw when helping her daughter with a school project. It's a reminder that it's never too late to explore new interests and talents.

​

Enrolling in an art studio (Denzil Herring's studio) and seeking professional guidance shows a commitment to improving one's skills. Continuous learning is essential in any field.

​

The advice to "draw, draw, draw" is a valuable lesson. Mastery in any art form, including visual arts, requires consistent practice and dedication. It's a reminder that success often comes from hard work and perseverance.

 

Pursuing a dream doesn't always mean abandoning other responsibilities. Franci continued her education while pursuing her passion for art, showing that finding balance and making gradual transitions is possible.

 

She started "Art with Franci" and expanded her artistic pursuits to also cater to children through classes led by Tutors Laurianne and Sarah. Franci teach adults older than 14yrs with a set syllabus with astonishing results. This venture likely allows her to share her passion for art with a wider audience, including young aspiring artists. Teaching art to children can be incredibly rewarding and can inspire the next generation of artists.

​

It's great to see how the journey from discovering talent to becoming a full-time artist has evolved to include an educational component, creating a positive impact on the community and nurturing artistic talent in others.  This demonstrates their commitment to both their own artistic growth and the growth of budding artists.

 

This story serves as a reminder that following one's dreams is possible at any stage of life, and it's never too late to explore and embrace new passions.
