Born in London and raised in Germany, Francesca Fuchs moved to the U.S. for the Core Program at the MFAH. Across her career, Fuchs’ critique of 'importance' has unfolded in rethinking the dismissal of the small, the intimate, the feminine, and the beloved, insisting that these things illuminate fundamental truths about our selves, our communities, and our histories. 

Fuchs’ work has been shown in venues including Whitechapel Art Gallery, London; The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; The Suburban, Oak Park, Illinois; and in solo presentations at the CAMH and The Menil Collection. She has attended residencies at MacDowell and La Maison Dora Maar and was awarded Art League Houston’s Texas Artist of the Year Award in 2018. Fuchs currently works in Houston, Texas, where she teaches and lives with her dog, her cat, and seven plants.
