Meet Fran Flaherty

We recently sat down with Pittsburgh-based Fran Flaherty and asked her a few questions about her creative process and career.

Fran is a Deaf artist and educational consultant living in Pittsburgh for over 25 years. As a first-generation immigrant from the Philippines, her work is centered on issues surrounding migrant family relations and assimilation, maternal feminism, & disability aesthetics that synthesizes traditional media and physical computing.

We’ve worked with Fran for many years across many of our programs at Casey Droege Cultural Productions and had the pleasure of acquiring her work for art consulting projects. She has been a presenting artist at SIX x ATE, a mentoring artist within our fellowship and exhibition partnership with Creative Citizens Studios, and created work for innovative spaces like the Tryp Hotel. We look forward to continuing to work with her as The Art Supply Co.
