Francesca Skelhorn, an artist born and raised in Kent, “The Garden of England,” finds deep inspiration in her upbringing and the influence of her grandmother, who raised her from the age of three. This early connection fostered her admiration for strong, unique women—a recurring theme in her work. With a professional background spanning fashion, academia, and life coaching, Francesca’s dedication to empowering young talent and encouraging innovation has become the cornerstone of her artistic journey.
Her art celebrates the diversity of the female form, with a particular focus on faces, using bold patterns, vibrant colors, and distinctive elongated necks to reflect the individuality and mood of each subject. Inspired by Yoko Ono’s “We’re All Water,” Francesca’s project of the same name embraces the shared humanity that unites us all. By naming each character and imbuing them with unique personalities, Francesca’s work fosters connections to inner joy, confidence, and self-expression, resonating deeply with collectors who describe her creations as centering and uplifting.
