About The Art
Passion Projects
Emerging from a deep appreciation for people and story, Frances Whisnant’s vibrant Passion Projects are full of drama and life. Frances’s canvas is a stage, her subjects are actors, and her art supplies become the directorial tools she uses to amplify the subtle, overlooked, or hidden beauty present in the strangers and loved ones captured in her work. These projects highlight a unique union between past and present as Whisnant blends Rococo and Neoclassical styles with surrealism to create art that speaks to contemporary audiences. Her hope is that what she captures with her brush moves people to a place of reflection and dialogue. Her work, with some currently in homes/organizations in Saudi Arabia, France, Brazil and New York, will be a valuable addition to any public or private space.
Commissioned Work
Frances Whisnant’s commissioned work is defined by its commitment to fostering artistic community with others. Much like Frances’s Passion Projects, her canvas is a stage – only this time the client writes the script while she is the one who interprets & performs. Commissioning these pieces begins with perspective clients sharing their vision, budget, and project goals. Sitting with the provided information allows Frances to complete a brief sketch which will serve as the template for a one of a kind piece after client approval and down payment are confirmed.
