Frances Guerin

Frances has spent a lifetime looking at and interpreting images. Her work is fuelled by the belief that art is for comfort, companionship and infinite inspiration. In her writing, art, film, and visual culture are touchstones for journeying into the unknown, and for understanding the world from previously unexplored perspectives.

Her art criticism and other scholarly writing focuses on late-19th/early-20th century modernism, and 20th century avant-garde and experimental film, photography, painting, and other visual media.

Her fiction and personal essays bring together her love of images and ongoing commitment to the issues that concern women in the 21st century.

She is also an experienced public speaker. She takes museum and gallery tours for small and large groups, runs workshops and webinars, gives public lectures on art and visual culture.

She is available for writing commissions and public speaking engagements in the areas of and related to her work on film, art, and visual culture. She is also available for inspirational talks to audiences looking to learn how to enrich their everyday lives through integrating art.

She teaches film, art and visual culture at the University of Kent, Canterbury.
