Hi!  Thanks for visiting FuzzyFluidArt, and I'm Francine.  I am a writer, an artist, a drug development scientist (a chemist, to be exact), a foodie and amateur cook, a dog lover, music enthusiast, an Anglophile (especially all things Welsh!) and an unabashed lover of Arthuriana (mostly of the Welsh variety).  My husband also likes to say I am a repository of arcane and useless knowledge, which has very little use in the real world, but is tops when it comes to trivia.  

​

I discovered fluid art by accident.  I was on Facebook when a video popped up (it was one of those videos that FB thinks you'll enjoy).  I distinctly remember it was a video by Olga Soby, a fantastic Ukrainian fluid artist based in Canada, showing how she did one of her dancing flows.  I was entranced.  I re-watched the video a few times, not quite understanding what it was I was seeing.  That led me down a rabbit hole: I started watching more of her videos on YouTube, then started googling other fluid artists.  Pretty soon, I was spending hours watching fluid artists like Olga, Molly Leach of Molly's Artistry, Rinske Douna, and Fiona of Fiona's Art.  I took the time to watch and learn, taking down copious notes, all the while asking myself "Is this something you'd like to try?  It seems doable..."

​

Yes, it was definitely something I wanted to try.  It took awhile for me get to that decision, but once I did, there was no turning back.  As many others have found with this art form, I very quickly became addicted.  These days, I spend most afternoons either painting or prepping for painting.  It is not an exaggeration to say that there are weeks where I spend three to four days just mixing paint in preparation for painting.  And while I am still learning and expanding my skills in the fluid art arena, I have found this entire experience extremely fulfilling and therapeutic.  I am very thankful I found fluid art when I did.  In a way, it has been a life saver.
