Frances was a nomad and, still is in her heart. Amongst other adventures she drove overland from Paris to India and back, has driven around Australia living with the aborigines, lived with the headhunters in Borneo, and finally met Mother Teresa in Calcutta. Following this encounter which changed her life, she did a paramedical degree at the Sorbonne. Taking color photography all those years, Frances came upon an exhibition of Ansel Adams in Big Sur in 1992–the desire to take black and white photos was born, and confirmed, by a later exhibition of Edward Weston. However, it was not realized until she came back from a sabbatical year of diving. Relaxed, her creative mind came to the fore and she started doing black and white photos of her adopted city of Paris five years ago. She continues the work with Special Needs Children but finds the time to carry on her nomadic excursions into the city. Her photos have been exhibited in Cape Cod, U.S., and are exported to four out of five continents by the expatriates who share her love of Paris.
