It is with mixed emotions that I write this communication. As I'm sure you are aware by now, our mother - Françoise André - passed on December 4, 2009 at approximately 7:15 AM ET. Although her passing was not unexpected I have been shocked to discover how the experience has moved me in unexpected ways.

My mother had “a good life.” This is not to say that her life was easy, happy, or without struggles. It is to say that she left our planet a better place. Through her spirit and her art, she has touched many people throughout North America and Europe. Following the footsteps of the great European masters, she has inspired some, educated others and given to us all to look at, a unique vision of man and earth in her paintings and drawings.These are here to stay. She also brought into this world three boys who all are part of her.

This website is a start - a place for the people she touched to communicate and share. Her absence has left us all with a void. If you wish to be kept informed as to the memorial or upcoming events please complete the contact form so I have your current information.

I plan on developing the website. This is just the first step for you her friends to connect.
