Tess is a visual artist with a strong foundation in acrylic painting, who began her creative outlet during lockdown. She has since begun exploring mediums, including digital, mixed media and more.

The themes of mortality are central to many of her pieces, using colour and subject matter to convey this duality, reflecting in the equilibrium between chaos and tranquillity, the natural balance of the universe, and with visual elements that blur the line between reality and the unknown.

Tess aims to expand and push creative boundaries in any way possible. With a mixed background, she looks to include heritage and culture into her works, and therefore reinforce the values of inclusion and connection too, encouraging unity and shared experience among all who engage with the arts.

Blurring lines between artists like Alanis Morissette, Florence Welch and Stevie Nicks with a genre-blending mix of rock, Indie, pop, soul, and blues, Fransis delivers music that hits hard, moves fast, and stays with you. She's made waves as a session singer, live performer, and writer - all while earning her stripes busking on the streets of London, leaving a lasting impression with her energetic performances whether it be a solo acoustic, with her trio or full band.
