b. 2005, living in Portland, ME.

Francesca Woolson grew up in Western New York surrounded by rolling hills and Lake Erie – incorporating these environmental influences in her art with a focus in surrealist figuration. For most of her life she attended ballet classes, which then pivoted to boxing classes at the end of high school. This contrast of flowing lines and intensity now informs her painting practice. When not in the studio, she loves finding secret places and listening to a variety of  live music around Portland. Francesca currently attends Maine College of Art and Design in Portland, ME – studying for her BFA in Painting with an expected year of graduation in 2026.
