Irondequoit artist, Fran Mascari attended the creative workshop of the Memorial Art Gallery for 12 years, but is basically self-taught.

A past president of the Irondequoit Art Club, she has won many ribbons and awards, including a “Best of Show”. Fran is also a member of the Suburban Art Group.

A lifelong resident of Irondequoit, Fran grew up at 367 Cooper Road (the Genrich Florist today) where her father was also a florist from 1934-1956. This connection led to her window project titled “367 Cooper Road: Then and Now”.

Fran’s six watercolor paintings and photos began as the house, floral and truck farm looked in the 1930’s and progresses to the Genrich Florist and Gift Shop today.

Mary Ellen and Ralph Genrich are Fran’s Window Project sponsors.
