Francesca Simon

• 
• Francesca Simon works in Vauxhall and also in Glaisdale, North Yorkshire. Principally a painter, she also makes etchings. Time spent in the North York Moors is an important part of her practice. The grids formed by the drystone walls of the area are the starting point for the work she makes, which transforms elements characteristic of traditional landscape into a personal abstract language. She uses a restricted range of marks and a limited palette. Her intention is that each piece should be reduced and refined by an economy of expression.
