About
Francesca Udeschini (they/them) is a queer Italian-American artist based in Seattle, WA. Their work explores themes of mortality, impermanence, and transformation through an interdisciplinary lens, with a particular focus on cyanotype, sculpture, and installation.
Their practice is all about slowing down, observing the natural world, and reflecting on the passage of time. They hold a deep love and respect for the flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest and use scientific illustration as a point of entry for bearing witness to the sacred life that surrounds us.
Francesca earned a BFA from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze in Florence, Italy, where they studied oil painting. They also received a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where they studied sculpture and alternative photographic processes. In 2019 they received a Certificate in Natural Science Illustration from the University of Washington.
