| Age: | 52 | | Location: | United States | | About artist: | French-Caribbean painter, Francoise St. Onge, was born in Port au Prince, Haiti, and began painting in oils at the age of 17, when she discovered that she had a talent for art. Soon after that she began raising a family and put her brushes aside. When her children grew up and left home, she returned to her first love – painting and enrolled in the BFA program at Michigan State University where she began her formal training in oil painting. Francoise’s talent was recognized by many art awards including the St. Augustine Art Association.
Francoise chooses a variety of subjects from still lives, nudes, landscapes and seascapes. Her home studio is located in St. Augustine. She currently exhibits at the following galleries: 130 King Fine Art & World Treasures, Metalartz Art Gallery, Hollerith Fine Art in Green Cove Springs; and The House of Sterio & Art Gallery in Jacksonville.

| | About art: | Her impressionistic approach to her oil paintings is expressed in rich colors, and a varied distinct style. This oil painting interpretation and concentrated skill is truly unique. Each painting is beautifully expressed by her sensitivity to the subject matter. She is particularly interested in painting the women of the Caribbean islands with a sense of “joie de vivre”. She uses her early memories of island life in her creation of vibrant, impressionistic paintings in tropical settings as well as abstract nudes using vibrant colors and texture. Her talents have been widely acclaimed and her work can be found in many private and corporate collections around the world. |
