The Bard College alum was already a veteran artist, having a solo L.A. gallery show of her drawings (the collection was called “Scumf–k”) in 2010 when she was 17.
“Most of my artwork is geared towards being humorous in some light,” Frances, who was showing under the alias “Fiddle Tim,” told Interview at the time. “I thought every piece was funny, but I’m delighted to discover that it was only funny to me.”
When the documentary came out five years later, she told RS, “Oddly enough, being 22, it’s the first year a fire has been lit under my ass—not because of the documentary, just personally. I have this motivation and ambition that I didn’t have before.”
The hardest part of “doing anything creatively is just getting up and doing,” she added. “Once I get out of bed and get into my art room, I start painting. I’m there. And I’m doing it.”
