Fran Giffard

Fran Giffard has long been captivated by the intricate beauty of natural illustrations, and has produced an incredible body of ornithology-inspired artwork. Fran works directly onto her personal Moleskine diaries using watercolour, ink, gouache and graphite pencil, capturing the wonder of exotic and more commonplace birds. The result is a vivid collection of work with an intriguing personal slant. 

Fran studied Fine Art Drawing at Camberwell College of Art, graduating in 2010. She has exhibited internationally, as well as throughout the UK. Fran has had a number of solo exhibitions. 

Fran has been shortlisted for The Columbia Threadneedle Art Prize, The Threadneedle Art Prize, BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year and David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year.
