Bio
Eco-artivist, ‘Rubbish artist’ and mosaicist, Francesca pioneers sustainable art by creating her artworks entirely out of waste. Her quest is to push the boundaries of both craft & art, act as a catalyst for sustainability and provoke real Change.

Torn between optimism and surrender, she believes in a future through systemic re-thinking. Every tessera she creates is a protest against our disposable lifestyle and embodies hope.

Gesamtkunstwerk, her eco-artivism encompasses every aspect of her life, from veganism to renewables, second-hand (…) to not flying, as she strives to walk the talk.
