DESIGNER - franca westaway

Franca Westaway has worked as a textile and fashion designer and had a career as an Art and Textiles teacher. She has a passion for all things art, fabric and pattern and is a graduate of the Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design e-course from Rachael Taylor. This past summer has seen Franca fascinated by everything grown in her garden, flowers, vegetables, and weeds! all feature strongly in her design work. She draws, paints and uses her own photography as the starting point before moving into Photoshop or Illustrator. Franca is happy producing technical repeats, placements and concepts as well as work for screen or digital production. She would love to license more and see her designs on fabrics, wallcoverings and interiors. Franca is looking for opportunities to work with other studios, companies and agents on a freelance, licensing or collaborative basis.
