Frances Natanni is an accomplished Australian artist known for her deep connection to the Australian landscape, which she vividly brings to life in her oil paintings. Her artistic journey has been fueled by a passion for capturing the delicate interplay of light and dark, a technique that gives her work a distinctive and evocative quality.
For the past four years, Frances has been honing her craft under the guidance of Meg Davoren Honey, OAM, a highly respected Fellow of the Victorian Artist Society. This mentorship has significantly shaped Frances's artistic style and technique, allowing her to develop a unique voice in the art community.
As an active member of the Kilmore Art Society, Frances has had the opportunity to exhibit her works at the Kilmore Art Expo, where her pieces have received positive recognition. Her talent has also attracted private commissions, through which she has successfully sold many of her works, further establishing her reputation as a skilled and sought-after artist.
Frances's love for art can be traced back to her childhood in Western Australia, a time when visual art was considered a luxury that many could not afford. Despite these challenges, she nurtured her dream of becoming a professional artist.
Today, she has realized that dream, balancing her artistic pursuits with family life. Frances is married and has four grown-up children. She currently resides in Coogee, Western Australia, where she continues to find inspiration in the natural beauty around her.
