Francis Mead

My name is Francis Mead and I am a non-binary Black Native Portuguese femme based in Oakland.

My pronouns are she and they. I am a mother, an artist, a dreamer, a Taurus, a lover of the earth and the people. I believe in liberation, self-determination and decolonization and that’s reflected through my art. I believe creation is a tool and medicine for the people to heal and resist. I love creating pen and ink and watercolor illustrations as well as acrylic paintings. I’m inspired by Black and Brown femmes, and other dreamers and warriors throughout time and space. My work always honors Black and Brown indigenous magic and ritual, because Spirit is everythang. I’m a tattoo apprentice under El Chamuco Cortez at the very special gallery and tattoo shop Amor Eterno Arte in east Oakland. and I’m very excited about expanding my creative spiritual practice through sacred ceremonial tattooing. Much love and many blessings.
