The art of Francine Funke ranges from large mixed media wall pieces and installations, to acrylic paintings on canvas and paper, to 3-dimensional works on paper—and to her latest Mechanical Botanical Series which utilizes computer and digital technology to create startling “digital combines”.

Her signature pop-up chair sculptures, called “Dimensional Drawings”, were chosen by the legendary, Gene Moore, Director of Tiffany & Company, to be displayed in all five of their windows on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
