About the Artist
Francine Fein
I am an experimenter, photographer, digital artist, and collage artist. My journey began as a very young child in my Aunt Jane’s attic studio, a place where I was free to explore without fear. In contrast to my parents—my father, a perfectionist physician, and my mother, a nurse obsessed with cleanliness—Aunt Jane’s approach was liberating. She encouraged me to be creative without worrying about getting my hands dirty or making mistakes, a gift that has shaped my work ever since.
Over the years, I’ve created wall art, cards, calendars, collages, and cartoons. My art isn’t something I often set out to make; instead, it’s something I discover along the way. Recently, during hand therapy practice, I noticed the shapes I formed with medical putty weren’t just exercises—they were little sculptures. They were very temporary — not like clay — so I photographed them and later use digital tools to highlight their textures and movement.
I love exploring overlooked or simple things. Often, it’s the interplay of shadows or the fluid, organic lines in objects that catch my eye. For me, the act of creating is as much about discovery as it is about the final piece. Whether it’s working with unexpected materials or trying new digital tools, I’m fearless in combining, undoing, and beginning again — always chasing that moment of surprise.”
