francesca (cecca) is a chicago-based artist who has been making stuff since she was little. since then, she earned her BA in art, media, and design at depaul university. she concentrated in painting & drawing and she minored in italian & communications. cecca continues to create things primarily in painting and drawing mediums, but also dabbles in printmaking and bookbinding. you’ll see a lot of her work focuses around natural or floral patterns and landscapes, which she hopes help take you somewhere else. if there’s something you like, feel free to shop available artwork or contact her here.
