Offerings
Textiles That Tell a Story
Old garments of hemp, linen & cotton carry a heritage & the original essence of the plants they were made of. In Francines texile art, the garment represents the soul of the character undergoing a transformation. The alchemical healing experience that the character of that story is going through is stitched and painted into the piece so that it becomes the representation of their journey of transformation. As such, Francines likes to refer to it as an imagined artifact.
Printmaking Mystic
Francine Marie Theilen's earthy & mystical printmaking creations are inspired her own experience of the natural world and our evolving consciousness, as well as her study of anthropololgy.
