I LOVE TO SPREAD SEEDS OF CREATIVITY
AND HELP YOU BRING MORE NATURE INTO YOUR ART
Hello! Welcome!
I’m Francisca Nunes!!
I love the idea of freedom when I’m creating. This feeling is the power that makes me create and express myself in my unique way.
As an artist, I love to share my process and ideas so that you can feel inspired and achieve that freedom and accept your unique style as a way of self-expression and unleash your wild creative voice.
I use color, nature, scribbles, and marks to explore the creative process.
I’m passionate about the process of eco printing and creating my own wild journals, using my own eco-printed papers, and then expressing my fearless soul on them.
I’m a mixed media artist born and living in Portugal.
Absolutely passionate about art journaling, I love to create messy and intuitive art, mixing color, texture, and nature.
I always saw myself wandering around the crafts all my life, but nothing was that thing!! Do you know what I mean? Until I find art journaling.
My entire life I was thought to be a scientist, I studied for that and I really believed that I was not able to make art. I very well remember at primary school see delighted at the drawings of one of my mates that at that young age was already drawing very well. But I was meant to believe that I had no habitability to draw or make any kind of fine art.
So I grew up thinking that for being an artist we had to be born. I believed that art was for those who went to fine art school!!!
Woowww!! How wrong I was!!!?? And that was a life-changing discovery for me :)
Discover that I could express myself through art, with no fear of others’ judgment, accepting my messy way of seeing things transformed my life, the way I see Art, and the way that I allowed myself to express my heart and soul
Is this feeling, this amazing discovery of us, our unique way of expression through art that I want to help you experience to.
I’m very influenced by nature
I always loved nature, especially the Botanic. I graduated as a Biology teacher and was a teacher for 21 years.
My love for Botany and plants was there all the time.
That influence is a line that guides me through this art expression fusing eco dyeing and nature printing with wild and intuitive expression using paint, fabrics, and stitches.
Well, I love mixing mediums to explore what’s in my Soul.
I’m the creator of FLOWERS MAGIC ART FEST
