Bio Dr. Frances Rinaldi has enjoyed incorporating her thirty years of experience in the arts and sixteen years of storytelling into the healing process. Dr. Rinaldi picks her subject matter from nature and moments in time. Her preferred medium for her paintings is acrylic. After studying mosaic in Italy she began adding glass accents into her paintings, as well as creating glass mosaic pieces that can be used in doors and windows. Additionally she is the author of two children books “Night Walk” a book of eight short stories for ages 7 to 11, and “How Silver Fox and Coyote Came to Color the Butterfly” for ages 3 to 8. The books were illustrated by her using the medium of watercolor with acrylic accentuation.
