Motor Sport Gallery

Fran's interest in all things motorsport goes back many years and in that time he has painted numerous commissioned pictures for competitors and enthusiasts alike.

Fran has had art work signed by some of the motoring greats, including Nicky Grist, Damon Hill, Mika Hakkinnen, David Coulthard and Steve Soper. The black and white checkered design of the action-art logo is intended to capture the personal connection for Fran between his interest in motorsport and his work within the Emergency Services environment.

It was only in the summer of 2008 that Fran decided to make his work more widely available, thus has come about the commencement of this web site. Yes, there are cheaper prints out there but Fran's ethos is clear,

"I wanted to produce a quality product from the first pencil stroke to final dispatch to the customer in order to make the experience of purchasing or being gifted with one of my paintings a real pleasure and investment. For me, this isn't just about the quality of my actual painting but also about the way that I produce my limited edition prints. I have looked carefully at other prints on the market many of which are produced extremely cheaply with inferior priniting and painting techniques. My desire is to build and maintain a reputation for the highest quality. I hope that my recent commissions on behalf of both Nicky Grist and the Red Bull Formula One Team indicate how my work is already being viewed. An action-art fine art print may be the perfect gift either for the motor sport enthusiast or the serious art collector "
