Frances Lord is a writer and curator with a visual arts background and specialism in contemporary craft and commissioning projects for the public realm.

David Haughton: Art, Life and the Cornish Landscape, a biography of my artist father David Haughton, published by Sansom & Co, is available for sale. The book was launched, with a talk and a small exhibition of Haughton’s work, at The Penwith Gallery, St Ives to coincide with the St Ives Festival.

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 is still part of my freelance practice.
