Francis Mead

a mama & dreamer rooted in Oakland / Huichin Ohlone Territory

“Ritual is a tribute to the human capacity to create, remember, and imagine, and to apply that imagination for the benefit of the community.”

-Malidoma Patrice Somé

​

Ever since she can remember Francis has created art to connect with herself, her ancestors  and the spirits that guide her. Her watercolor, pen and ink, digital and acrylic illustrations are created with a deep reverence for the land, liberation, spirit and ritual. 

​

She is grateful to collaborate with many community based organizations and schools creating art work in service to the empowerment and healing of the people.

​

She is infinitely grateful for her children and all the ways they heal her and open doors for her creativity. They are her biggest inspiration in imagining a new world beautiful enough for them to live in.
