Fransie Malherbe Frandsen

Fransie Malherbe Frandsen is a fine artist, writer and illustrator. She was born in Cape Town, but lived and studied in several countries, before settling in Geneva. Fransie’s background is in Graphic Design and Art Psychotherapy.

Fransie’s art takes inspiration from her exposure to many cultures as well as from her experience in working with marginalised individuals as an art psychotherapist. Through her work, Fransie strives to bring to light and to provoke thought, concerning those issues dismissed by society.

Fransie works mainly in mixed media and acrylics. Despite the collage effect that this medium offers, there is no paper present on the artwork. Adding 3D objects to her artworks, allows Fransie to communicate with the viewer through an alternate dimension by using all their senses. Fransie’s work can best be described as Artivism.

Fransie has also successfully written and illustrated a series of children’s books.
