Frances, a graduate of Brown University, was born and raised in the Bay Area. Her appreciation of different cultures was fostered as a child by trips to exotic places. In 2008 she left her job in high-tech communications to see the world, traveling through 50 countries and taking tens of thousands of photographs. During her travels she kept a photographic Weblog at  www.wheresfrances.blogspot.com.

Frances is especially drawn to scenes that express the beauty, excitement, humor and diversity of the world. Her photos can be found in galleries and private collections around the world.
