An abstractionist with an acknowledged interest in the physical world, visible or not to the naked eye, Francis makes paintings which are both theoretical, in the spirit of pure numbers and hypothetical shapes, and real, suggestive of shapes we know, or seem to know, or remember. Her paintings and drawings investigate the relational aspect of form, possibility as a variable of viewpoint, the paradox of appearances, and movement as form. Critic Yve-Alain Bois writes in his catalog essay for a 1996 exhibition at William Paterson University, that Francis ".. marvel[s] at science as a vast reservoir of improbable data." She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, and has mounted solo exhibitions at Minus Space, Nicholas Davies Gallery, The Sarah Moody Gallery at the University of Alabama, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Hal Bromm Gallery and Galerie Mollet-Vieville et JP Najar . Francis is the recipient of awards from The American Academy of Arts and Letters, John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York State Council on the Arts. Her paintings and drawings are included in the collections of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art Denmark, the Stavanger Kunstmuseum Norway,The JP Najar Foundation Museum Dubai, MIT List Visual Arts Center, The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, and The Portland Museum of Art among others.
