Towson University Alum Unveils Talent To Uplift Neighbors

Press release from Towson University:

May 11, 2020

For as long as she can remember, Danielle Francy ‘18 has enjoyed studying art and composition.

“My mom has always been crafty, and I learned about painting and drawing from my father,” Francy notes. “I attended Sudbrook Middle Magnet School and studied art for and hour and a half every day.”

But in high school, she hit the gym and discovered a new structure to explore: anatomy and physiology.

Francy majored in exercise science at TU, intrigued by muscles’ make up and interconnection, body structure and mobility.
When she graduated, Francy became a personal trainer at the Merritt Clubs Canton.

But when the shutdown limited everyone’s movement, the Catonsville, Maryland, native
found herself at loose ends.

Bored and unable to find the sidewalk chalk Francy thought was in the garage, she
asked her mom to buy a set of 149 from Sam’s Club, and Francy took her first step
into the public art scene.

On April 12, she drew bunnies outside her home to celebrate Easter. Noting the number
of children in her neighborhood, her attention turned to what she liked as a child:
cartoons.

Over the last two weeks, Francy’s weather-dependent gallery has featured SpongeBob SquarePants, Scooby Doo and Shaggy, Dexter and Dee Dee from Dexter’s Laboratory, Chuckie and Tommy from Rugrats and The Powerpuff Girls among others.
