Frances Ruiz
Frances is a Puerto Rican artist who has lived in Indiana for about twenty years. After years of creating art solely for recreation and spiritual retreat, she decided to focus on her art and become a full-time collage artist in 2020. She mixes acrylics with paper creating her own patterns and colors on paper to engage the viewer in a unique artistic visual representation experience. Her background, Taino, African and European, provide the perfect culturally diverse expression for her paintings. Her upbringing in Puerto Rico and personal life experiences are the basis for her inspiration. She strives to reflect her love for music, dance, nature, and the Caribbean using bold organic colors and lines in her compositions to provide movement and provoke a feeling. Her goal is to bring joy and positive emotions through her paintings.
