About the Artist

Like so many of us, Francesca Creo finds her spirit continually renewed by the limitless inspiration of nature.

Born into a family that valued the arts, she first painted in her in her father’s studio in Rome, Italy. That early exposure inspired a lifelong dedication to the arts and led her to training in the expressive therapies as well as a long and rewarding career working with young people.
