Allison Frances is an emerging multidisciplinary artist based in Pennsylvania. Growing up in an indoctrinating and oppressive environment, she finds healing and self-expression through art, allowing her to work through complex experiences. She now works to hold space and celebrate herself by letting her experiences with depression, anxiety, and trauma influence her art in many ways, sometimes subtly. Since her artistic practice was born from burnout, it now centers around rest, healing, and self-reflection. She enjoys observing and capturing the nuances of light and color while exploring themes like nature, humanity, trauma, oppression, and the global struggle for justice. In her current show, Born Screaming, and as she navigates the realities and perceptions of being an artist, Allison invites viewers to engage with themselves and the world around them more thoughtfully and empathetically.
