Welcome to Art by Francine

Hi, my name is Francine Dufour Jones.  I am an artist, art teacher, and creative inspirer. I love so many forms of painting, including oil painting, alcohol inks, acrylics, digital, pastels, watercolor, silk painting, and, of course, mixed media. Living in Alaska, I enjoy Plein Air painting in the spring through fall months. I love to be inclusive of both different kinds of artists and art mediums. I love experimenting to see how many variations I can make. Through creative exploration, you will gain more confidence as an artist. I hope my art brings a smile to your heart.

 On this site, I will share my art, experience, ideas, and dreams. I hope that these art classes will bring out your creative spirit and your desire to explore and create.
