Francesca is a local Tampa Bay artist, with a long family history in the arts. Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, her art is heavily influenced by tropical colors and lush appeal. She is an engineer by trade, but spends all her free time pursuing and creating beauty - writing, dancing, painting, gardening.

Her first passion was charcoal portraits, which she started about 20 years ago. However, black and white realism lacked the interpretation and creative energy that color provides. She was itching for a way to show people’s presence - for others to feel what it is like to stand in front of that individual being painted. She switched mediums altogether, picked up brushes, and dove into acrylics on canvas. She has been producing bold color portraits since 2019.

She loves painting murals. Indoor or outdoor, murals can be such a captivating way to make a house a home. A backyard becomes a retreat, a bedroom becomes a fairy castle, a living room becomes an elegant piece of art.

And if you find sunsets and sunrises breathtaking, then call Tampa Bay Art. Francesca has built a portfolio specializing in sun scenes, and you will surely love what she creates for you.
