Frances Lord is a writer and curator with a visual arts background and specialism in contemporary craft and commissioning projects for the public realm.
Writing about the visual arts is now my main focus. My first authored book David Haughton: Art, Life and the Cornish Landscape is out now, published by Sansom & Co. The book launch, with a talk and a small exhibition of Haughton’s work, is to be held at The Penwith Gallery, St Ives.
During my freelance career as a curator I worked with artists, arts and environmental organisations, architects, developers and local government initiating, developing and managing a diverse range of arts and cultural projects in the UK and beyond. Mentoring is still part of my freelance practice.
