ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Abby Franke received her BFA in Integrative Studio Practice from the Herron School of Art and Design in May of 2024. She focuses in Illustration and Sculpture, while her artistic practice revolves around the themes of girlhood and the female experience. Her sculptural work utilizes a variety of mediums but often returns to wearable pieces and the use of personal writing as text in her work, her illustrative pieces are primarily done digitally. She seeks to celebrate the complexities of femininity, inviting viewers into tactile and intimate explorations of identity, resilience, and vulnerability.
