About the artist...

Heidi Franscioni is an interdisciplinary fine art photographer working in a variety of different mediums. She is best known for her encaustic photographic paintings; appling layers of hot molten beeswax with her photographic images. Her work often references nude studies, architecture, saturated color, and transparent forms, and found objects. Dreamlike issues are explored, encouraging the viewer to be transformed to another place and time.

At times, her art becomes a personal religion, crossing lines between traditional art, other disciplines, and her connection to Spirit. Franscioni says, “When done well, my art feels as though it is channeled through my body. As a conduit, I often feel as if Spirit is directing my hands. My mind then follows, reading the story that my hands tell.”

Franscioni received her Bachelor of Arts from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio (1985) with additional graduate studies at California College of the Arts in Oakland, California (1985-1987).
From 1989 to 2001 she owned and operated Wind & Sea Studio in West Marin County, designing and wholesaling a collection of handmade greeting cards, photo albums, journals, bath products and other giftware. In 2001, she closed this business to focus more time on her fine art.
