Frances learned to make small scenes from her mom, a gifted miniaturist, who initially worked in 1" scale (1"=1') but moved on to smaller scales. She embraced the smaller scale especially and recently began creating themed scenes in small metal tins. Themes include sunflowers, holidays, celebrations, life events, etc.
