About this episode
Frances Howie discusses her unique artistic perspective shaped by her upbringing in New Zealand and her journey through major cities.
Growing up in a rural art community in New Zealand meant Frances Howie developed a point of view untouched by trend cycles — one rooted in instinct, independence, and distance from the noise. Tune into the episode to hear how that early perspective shaped her journey across Paris, London, and New York, and eventually to Fforme.
