Francesca grew up in the Dominican Republic in the home of taekwondo entrepreneurs. As a child, she traveled the island with her parents, taking in the massive landscapes.  As the oldest of five children and an immigrant, she has overcome many economic and social barriers, building a resilient spirit that cannot be easily broken.

Francesca considers herself a serial social entrepreneur, leading organizations and projects that make our world and our government more humane. She works with nonprofits that promote inclusion, historic preservation, and economic development. Her commitment to social justice looks like a celebration of world cultures and places in her art. Her expertise has been on the stages and pages of MIT Media Lab, Berklee College of Music, WPI, Small Business Anti-Displacement Network, Main Street America, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, and more.

Studied at Bold Color School, looking for a way to use vibrant colors and move away from charcoal drawing. My work has been influenced by Klimt and Rembrandt, two masters that knew how to manipulate pattern and light, respectively.
