Hi! If we haven't met, I'm Kristin Frances, a decades-long artist and designer, solo mama of three and now the Founder & Executive Director of Warrior Soul Gallery & Community Studio.  This is a gathering place that I’ve felt intuitively (and very strongly) guided to create. Now more than ever, I believe we need a community space that is dedicated to celebrating and supporting local the local artists, musicians, makers, individuals and families who make Lyons magical. Warrior Soul Gallery & Community Studio (aka “the studio”) is part art gallery, part community creative studio and part gathering place - created to uplift women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and youth through creative spaces that foster connection, education, and artistic expression. Support for the studio will come from memberships, drop in and workshop fees, private donations and grants. ​I look forward to meeting you and collaborating in a space where our mission and vision focuses on uplifting women, LGBTQ+ folks, teens, youth and anyone who believes in creativity, respect, connection, inclusivity and community joy. 

With creativity & gratitude,
Kristin
