Testimonials

"New and fresh, Francis captures the essence of the neighborhood."

Jay Hargis, collector

 

"I was taken by Francis's beautiful paintings on first sight. I love the way he captures everyday life in various New York City neighbourhoods, and in particular, the play of light and colour in these places."

Eric Lee, art appreciator

 

"I have known Francis for many years. Our oldest boys were in school together up until 8th grade. I was so impressed when he first started sharing his artwork, I had no idea. I love the focus he has on our neighborhood. I am so happy to have the two pieces that I love. The ice cream truck and the sunset on Chittenden!"

Perry Longno, collector

 

"Our new office feels like home with the stunning painting capturing the 181st Street corner, reminding us of the bustling cityscape we once gazed at through our windows. We could have not asked for a better painting to be housed at our conference room."

R. Fernandez, corporate art owner

 

“I worked with Francis on a custom piece centered around a childhood memory. While he’s clearly an incredibly talented artist, I was most struck by his efforts to understand my story in order to translate it into a stunning painting.”

I.L., custom art owner

 

“Francis was responsive, flexible, timely, kind and overall a pleasure to work with! Plus I love my original piece from a local artist!”

C.B., custom art owner

 

“Having lived in Washington Heights for years, I have come to ignore some of the splendor of the neighborhood. But seeing my neighborhood through Francis’s artwork renews that enchantment and my love for the Heights.”

M.F., collector

 

“To be honest, it’s even more stunning at home than what I remember at Buunni Coffee. The use of colors and reflections of light bouncing from the wall is sublime."

L. Jones, collector

 

"When I see Francis Hsueh's artwork of everyday ordinary things, such as the sunlight shining on mailboxes, a kitchen sink full of dirty dishes, a loaf of bread, soda bottles, the flag by the school, I am astonished how much I had overlooked! It's right in front of me, but I didn't take note. I am delighted to benefit from the artist's eye. And it makes our lives richer for it."

Susan Chan, collector

 

“With each of Francis’s paintings, I eagerly anticipate his unique perspective of the world, marveling at the beauty he captures in the cityscape, and I’m continually touched by his artistry.”

P. Butman, collector

 

“Francis’s scenes are at once familiar, nostalgic and haunting. Devoid of people, they focus on the sometimes overlooked landscapes of everyday life; for me, they evoke a specificity of my own personal experiences in the neighborhood.”  

V. Spalten, collector 

 

“Francis's images capture the great natural and accidental beauty of our neighborhood—kind of like he was tapped into the dream life of the place.”

B. Brown, collector

 

“Francis's art is created to make you see what you feel. So grateful to have this artist's aesthetic captured on paper.”

L. Gitelson, collector

 

"I really loved the painting when I first saw it because it reminded me of my husband, of our first date, his tattoo of the bridge, and the spot where we had our wedding ceremony."

S. B., collector

 

"We enjoyed working with Francis, and we love our customized artwork! Francis was extremely communicative and receptive to our requests. It is an amazing gift to have an artist like Francis in our neighborhood, and we will treasure our piece. Would recommend!"

D. Karp, custom art owner

 

“Seeing the beauty of our neighborhood through Francis' art evokes such pride and appreciation for the place we call home. I've decorated both my office and apartment with his paintings of my favorite places, continually reminding me of how grateful I am to live where I live.”

J. Miaczynski, collector 

 

"Very happy with my purchase. The artwork is beautiful. The item was delivered timely, and the quality of the print was amazing. Thank you Francis!"

Jackie M., collector

 

"Every time we look at one of the pieces of Francis' art we're lucky enough to own - the snowy 187th street stairs, a lush path in Fort Tryon, a view of the bluffs from the Chittenden wall, lovers on a Linden Terrace bench - we're instantly transported to another moment in time."

Rebecca Rivera, collector

 

"Francis’s water colors capture our Washington Heights neighborhood with beauty and grace. In his paintings the moods of our streets, buildings and people are expressed during different times of the day and night plus the changing seasons. I have his classic Mister Softee at Dusk, a painting that reminds me of a joyful time while raising my children with visits to Jacob Javits playground and the sound of the ice cream truck bell."
