Francesca Isabella Towers is an abstract, transcendental painter based in San Diego. In 2019, she graduated with highest honors from UC Santa Barbara's College of Creative Studies, earning a BA in Art with an emphasis in Painting. Remarkably, she completed her degree in just three years while managing a diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis. Francesca has showcased her work in several solo and group exhibitions across California.

Her artistic journey began at a young age, nurtured by access to arts at home and in school, and by mentors who encouraged her talent. These early influences instilled in her a profound sense of agency, community, and purpose, helping her overcome adverse childhood experiences.

Fueled by this resilience, Francesca has studied the fundamental relationship between art and humanity and sees art as an ethos that can enhance how we experience, perceive, and connect with the world. This philosophy is not only integrated into the visual language of her painting practice–It drives the principles she lives by, the opportunities she pursues, and her long-term vision of enacting systemic change within the K-12 education system, ensuring that students develop skills to create a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Currently, Francesca is the Assistant Project Manager at the National Conflict Resolution Center, where she continues to refine her skills in communication, conflict resolution, and restorative dialogue.
