About Fran Giffard

 
 
  • Biography
    I paint birds over my personal Moleskine diary. It is my ever-growing interest in ornithology that means I am constantly researching and painting species new to me. Through revisiting species I've previously painted, I am able to further my distinctive style and use of colour and composition. I am highly inspired by natural illustrations and pursue this tradition of instilling beautiful, character, and poise in each bird depicted.
