This work is part of her Tower of Song series. The series is inspired by the lyrics of a song by Leonard Cohen. The lyrics and the paintings are, for Rachel, about art and how it protects one from the ups and downs of life - both the artist and the art lover. Francis’s work has been recently exhibited in group shows in Toronto at The IX Gallery, The Papermill Gallery, The Hangman Gallery, The Women’s Art Association Gallery, Spazio Dell’Arte Gallery and in a solo exhibitions at the Woodside Public Library and the Arts on the Danforth 2012 Festival.
