Ann Frantic

"Twenty years ago, I was in the alarming position of finding an income quickly. I started a ceramic business named Frantic Designs, as a joke really, but it became my signature when I later started painting.

I have used the masters from Rousseau to Gaugin as a point of reference for my images and also subconscious ideas, hard to define, along with some things just to entertain.

I have been in the Gulf Coast region and New Orleans until recently. The work is acrylic on board, which seems to be suited to my style and is usually enhanced by a frame."

Frantic's surreal whimsy and fantastical color adds delight to any heart. Her delightful, authentic voice is present in all of her pieces, calling to the soulful child in all of us.
