Feddun Interviews visual artist Frances Thrasher. They start by discussing early artistic influences, particularly Monet, and Thrasher's childhood experiences of creating art at home. She explains how transitioning from imitating others' works helped her develop a unique style, particularly focusing on feminine beauty combined with darker elements. Thrasher also shares the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their work, channeling isolation and negative emotions into their art. They discuss working with Patterson Hood from Drive-By Truckers, whose admiration for a specific piece by Thrasher led to it being used as an album cover. Thrasher also created a music video and tour poster for Hood, navigating the pressure of filling a role previously held by Wes Freed, who sadly passed away in September of 2022 and had previously handled artwork for Hood and his band, the Drive-by Truckers. Lastly, the conversation touches on Thrasher's plans to study art further at the University of Georgia and her openness to commission work, emphasizing the supportive art community in Athens, Georgia.
