Artgirl Lady Woman Child

​​Ever since I can remember, Art has always been my passion in life. Whether I was at home or traveling I’d always have my art supplies with me. I knew being a creative, was what I should do with my life. ​ I am drawn to painting and photography because these mediums are somewhat contradictory, and are often considered to have a hot and cold relationship. I like the fluidity of paint and the immediacy of a photograph.​ ​ I received my BFA in 2005, and currently reside in both Connecticut and New York City.

Some Words and those put together I like

“Consciousness can reduce even the most fastidious thinker to blabbering incoherence.” – Colin McGinn

“God only knows.” – 1966 song by American rock band The Beach Boys. Although I knew it as the phrase my mother would always say that then rubbed off on me.

“It’s 11:11. Make a…

Q&A - Inside My Studio

Q&A – Inside My Studio

Recently,  I came across a fun book by Joe Figg called, Inside the Painter’s Studio. It is a compilation of questions given to Artists to answer regarding their studio space. Hearing about the way an Artist works, gives a sort of an intimate view at the day to day, even if its a bit mundane. I decided to answer those same questions for a more ‘behind the scenes’ glimpse about my working as an…

Take your pick: "The Pleasure of / and / or Pain"

The Pleasures of / and / or Pain Mixed Media – Acrylic, Wood, Crystal Flecks on Canvas Both artworks are 18″ x 24″ © 2015 Francesca Siano

I created these two mixed media paintings simultaneously, side by side, as they are meant to be viewed as a pair. Although, they are completely separate from my Transcending the Flesh series, they too address feelings of being at or coming to war with our own…

Transcending the Flesh

2014 has now come to a close, and the start of a new year is here. So much anticipation and excitement! I am ready for the next steps. I am ready to take my flow through with cohesive action. I say this with such joy because I hold an understanding that’s deeper than I’ve ever known. Sure the past couple of years have felt a bit…

You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened… or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move on.

Shades of Grey Sprinkled Throughout

  Shades of Grey Sprinkled Throughout Photograph by Francesca Siano © 2014 Francesca Siano

I am not attracted to the dark side or anything, but it allows me to better see the light. Its how I can relate to the many ways of one thing , situation or person. It can keep me ten steps ahead of where I think I am. I’d say it’s my best trait, when channeled properly. This has been the case since day 1.

  Issues of Irregular Timing Unedited Photograph by Francesca Siano © 2014 Francesca Siano

I know I said I was going to write something every month, but somehow I missed last month. I’m not use to the whole blogging thing yet, but I’ll get there. The part that I do enjoy is the fact that I am documenting my progress and I think that’s crucial for any Artist. It sort of keeps you in check with…
