it is my honor, and slightly giddy pleasure to introduce to you the lovely francine turk. francine is a prolific chicago artist whose sigh-inducing mixed media work is being revered all over the world, featured in blockbuster movies and my beautifully hunted dreams.
emotive figures, wondering thoughts captured in feathery script,
