I’m a Twin Cities based artist/designer with a BFA in Industrial Design from UW – Stout and member of the social justice nonprofit Art to Change the World (ACW). My studio is located at the Schmidt Artist Lofts. You can also find my work in the Fox Den Gallery at the Solar Arts Building and ACW Headquarters at the Flux Arts Building.
Growing up my dream was to be an inventor that helps make the world a better place. As a kid I started making found object art and homemade gifts and continue doing this today. Now I have experience in a variety of art forms including product design, graphic design, sculpture, jewelry, sewing, photography, and woodworking.
My art often reflects just how much I care about helping others. I have a passion for issues of diversity, the world of dancing, and camping gadgetry. As a lesbian with autism, I understand how important it is to empower your community.
Frances Bates is open on Friday, Saturday & Sunday of Art-A-Whirl weekend.
