Visual artist, performer, occasional MC and clown. A wannabe performer from a young age, Frances developed her performance skills in Newcastle’s youth theatre companies. This gave her a huge appreciation for the important role these organisations play in fostering kids creativity.

Frances is a multiple Conda nominated actor who has studied drama at the University of Newcastle, VCA, Redstitch Theatre in Melbourne and worked as a performance and health facilitator at Starlight Children’s Foundation. Frances is passionate about giving kids an opportunity and a safe place to unleash their creativity and build their confidence. More recently, Frances is a practising visual artist who paints out of her fluorescent covered studio found at Newcastle Artspace.
