'Hypnotized' LIMITED EDITION PRINT BY FRANCES WHITMAN

About The Artist

Following the Discovery of a natural talent for painting and drawing, Wildlife Artist Frances Whitman has met with acclaim for her animal paintings and drawings.

Entirely self taught, she finds that using Faber-Castell colour pencils is the most effective media for achieving the fine details in her drawings. For her paintings, Frances works in oils and acrylics.

Frances Whitman began painting in 1992 and first entered the (PAWS) Paint a Wildlife Subject competition run by internationally acclaimed wildlife artist Roy Chaffin in 1994, when she won a commendation in the mixed media category. The following year she won the best Monochrome entry and in 1996 she won not only the Best Mixed Media prize, but Best Overall Picture from thousands of other entries. Her winning entry of a leopard entitled 'Mesmerised' was published as a limited edition print and was an instant success and sell-out.To Frances the most challenging aspect of her work is capturing eye expression, the life and soul of her pictures.

Frances is a member of 'TWASI' The Wildlife Art Society International and 'MIWAS' Marwell International Wildlife Art Society, and shows her work at their annual and regional exhibitions. She is also a member of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and is involved in fundraising activities on the conservation of wildlife.

"Through my art I hope to support wildlife conservation projects."
