New Mexico holds that special desolate, rugged, spiritual and powerful landscape that is a part of Fran’s ‘Take Any Road philosophy.  Fran coined the phrase “If you need a place to go, take any road” after the loss of her parents and two of her three beloved brothers.  It encourages the viewer to have the confidence to move forward and experience life no matter how difficult or confusing, beautiful or powerful. Without reservation or remorse, each painting takes a point of view, and offers a destination of courage and purpose.
