Excerpts from these sites: (She) doesn't make a habit of telling people she is a nun; she would rather have people perceive her as a person first, Franciscan sister second. But her vows of poverty and obedience are a big commitment in her life... this accomplished artist and teacher just celebrated her 50th anniversary as a nun.... She lives in a house on Davis Islands shared with three other Franciscan nuns, including her twin sister. (Her sister, a musician, works at Maria Manor in St. Petersburg.) In addition to 15 hours a week on the job at Moffitt, Frances also paints and sells her artwork from her studio on 56th Street near Temple Terrace....She holds an MFA degree from Marywood University in Scranton, a Master of Education Degree from Boston College, and is a registered expressive arts facilitator with the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association. She has served as a consultant for the University of South Florida's graduate program of training in the expressive arts.
