About Julene Franki

Julene Franki I am so lucky! When I was a little girl, before I even went to first grade, my mother took me to art school every week at Mrs. Jones'. Mrs. Jones was a farmers wife, but she was a trained artist. She had an art studio behind the farm house and that is where I learned to paint and draw with my lifelong best friend Clarice, who I called Ann Clarice then. I think Clarice's mom and my mom took turns taking us the "long" 15 minutes or so out to the farm once a week. I was painting in oils when I was 5 and painted, painted painted with Clarice and Mrs. Jones until I was in high school. My work of art: "Fruit, Wine and Sunshine," created when I was five, and which I won a blue ribbon for at the 1960 Jim Wells County Fair is an example of this early experience. I was later joined by other budding artists Janet and Mary. I went to Catholic School until I was in the 9th grade and they were "public school kids." It took me out of my little parochial school world into this world of turpentine, linseed oil, palette knives, medium, brushes and canvas. A world I so loved, but abandoned after entering high school. Although dips into pastels during college and law school interrupted this hiatus until April 2013, when I began to paint and draw again at Inspire Community Fine Art Center in San Antonio, this time in acrylic and to draw the human form in life drawing for the first time. I won a prize for runner up for my painting "Julene's Garden" in Inspire's 2013 juried art show at their Gala. I had designed, planted, and photographed my garden in 2005 and winning a prize for painting it was a great encouragement for me. While I continue to work with my left brain, the right brain activities of painting and writing are back in force in my life. Never to be abandoned again I hope!
