Franco’s inclination to art came early, watching his mother doing pencil drawings. He studied art at Brisbane State High School. Forty years later, when his wife, Morwenna suggested he take a sketch pad when they journeyed around Australia, he re-discovered his passion for the visual arts. Franco draws inspiration from Morwenna’s beautifully crafted photographs. Recently, he has taken himself out of his studio to work en plein air.
