Frances Lord is a writer and curator with a visual arts background and specialism in contemporary craft and commissioning projects for the public realm.
Writing about the visual arts is now my main focus of activity. My first authored book David Haughton: Art, Life and the Cornish Landscape is to be published by Sansom & Co in September 2026.
During my freelance career as a curator I worked with artists, arts and environmental organisations, architects, developers and local government initiating, developing and managing a diverse range of arts and cultural projects in the UK and beyond. Mentoring and coaching is still part of my freelance practice.
