Photo Essays of Works in Progress

There is but one day left until the opening of the exhibition. And if you'd like to take a glimpse at the goings-on behind-the-scenes of some of the pieces that will be displayed there, please visit my longlifestories blog.

The Big Tree - acrylic on canvas, 2' x 5', 2010

That blog began as a challenge to create something in any medium, on a daily basis. But in the few months prior to this upcoming show, I've not had a chance to add new entries. So during the course of the week that my paintings will be exhibited, I will share photos and thoughts of work as it has progressed.

The Big Tree is the first that will be featured in my upcoming photo essays.

The opening is but one day away. For more information on timings or directions to Yama Yoga Studios in the Garvey's complex, please click here. To make an appointment for a personal tour, please email me directly at fine-art@ceciliafrancisco.com

Again, the opening is at 7pm, Thursday, May 27th at Yama Yoga Studios inside the Garvey's complex. Hope to see you there!

Upcoming Exhibition - Duality

I am excited to reveal my newest work at Yama Yoga Studios here in Doha, Qatar. Having been based in Qatar since 2006, I have come to make peace with the intricacies of expat living. And in my upcoming exhibition entitled, Duality, I will showcase 17 acrylic and mixed media paintings that represent both the affection I have grown towards living in the Gulf, while addressing the universal nostalgia of missing home.


Everyone is warmly invited to attend the exhibition opening on Thursday, 27 May 2010 at 7 p.m.

Artwork will remain on display at Yama Yoga Studios within the Garvey's complex from 28 May to 06 June 2010.
