In ’90 she began to redeem herself by pursuing her dreams, and studied to obtain the qualification of art master from the Caravaggio Institute of San Gennaro Vesuviano, gradually perfecting various decorative techniques with great professionals. In 2016 she opened a fine art and stationery shop that gave her the name of Liber art and from here her stage name began.
There are many people who visit the store. Francesca collaborates with the teachers of various schools and with some, participating as an external expert. She followed a long training course of an American technique called One Stroke which later led her to be a certified teacher with an American and Italian patent. Over the years she has also become a demonstrator and teacher of a three-dimensional technique in Campania called “Sospeso Trasparente – Transparent Suspended” where she was contacted to make this technique known at various fairs in the creative sector between Naples, Rome and Vicenza.
