  • Artist: Francesca "Frahn" Koerner

Frahn Koerner’s multi-media artwork--painting, drawing, photography, installation and video--is fueled by universal narratives of adventure, transformation and tenacity. Ideas are illuminated by a robust inner spirituality. Her work has recently been described as addressing gender and resilience--resonating with current events.
​

For many years now Koerner has been simultaneously working on a feminist-centered theme along with other paintings that have been more visually abstract, with the metaphorical content remaining somewhat mysterious in meaning. All of her artwork employs both camera and computer as fundamental creative tools.

Koerner is a native New Orleanian who began making art when she was a child. She holds a BFA from Tulane University and an MFA from the University of New Orleans: majoring in painting with a minor in photography. She has taught at Tulane University and the University of New Orleans. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Historic New Orleans Collection and the City of New Orleans.
