"I first encountered Frannie’s paintings at a show at the Rye Library. I found the vibrant colors and what I can only describe as the pure joy of her paintings enticing,  deciding then and there that I would call and see if there was a place for me, a hesitant new painter full of trepidation. Now, several years later, I would say that my lessons at her studio are among the happiest and most fun times in my week. In addition to that, I continue to see real improvement in my work. She has a great blend of instruction, encouragement and freedom that seems to work for all of her students regardless of their levels of experience and abilities. The studio itself is wonderful, light and airy with views overlooking Great Bay. Inside it’s full of beautiful paintings, wonderful music and, as I first noticed in her paintings, a real sense of joy."
