Francesca’s style is difficult to define, she is a contemporary conceptual artist, one might even call her "Pop" or "naïve" whose work is underpinned by extensive research in content and materials. She frequently depicts jellyfish which represent the origins of life and immortality to her while reflecting on the animal and plant worlds and their connections to humanity.
