Award-winning artist Francine Prestininzi opens a window to her beautiful world with her artwork. She has always had a unique perspective on the things around her and by using a wide range of styles, mediums, and subjects, she specializes in the type of art that awakens the imagination.

Her artwork, inspired by fantasy, manga, Art Nouveau, and classical animation, allows her to draw inspiration from a wide variety of styles to create art that is not only beautiful, but also affordable. Her prints are available in a variety of sizes including unlimited and limited editions, greeting cards, and original commissions.

Francine enjoys working in multiple media such as pastels, acrylic paint, pen and ink, graphite, and computer graphics. Her catalogue includes commissions for paintings, company logos, and wedding invitations.

Currently she is about to begin her senior year at the Laguna College of Art and Design where she is majoring in Traditional Animations, some of which can be viewed here. It has been a long and difficult road, but she is finally about to achieve her childhood dream of being an animator where afterwards she will go into the film industry.

She resides in Orange, California with her husband, Craig who is a practicing architect where they are in the process of restoring an historic home minutes away from one of her favorite places, Disneyland. She enjoys going to Renaissance Faires and Goth parties, riding in old hot rods, playing with her Neopets, and spending time with her fat, fuzzy cat, Miko Mido.
