My story

My name is Macey Percle and I am the artist behind Francis Rose Designs. The inspiration for Francis Rose Designs comes from combining the middle names of my two children. I am a wife and mother, living in Southern Louisiana. I have been drawing and creating for as long as I can remember. When I was younger, I would obsess over my coloring books choosing the perfect colors, mixing colors, and shading in the shadows, just as my daughter does now. I would attend art classes and either paint or learn to crotchet in the summers spent at my Nana’s. Having a creative outlet has always been my way of escaping from stress and anxiety and I feel like my best self when I am creating. While I do not have a degree in art, I am trained in watercolor and charcoal (which is my first love) from my art classes with a local artist growing up. I have recently fallen in love with heavy body acrylics using an impasto style to sculpt out my painting adding more depth and texture.

I am a former teacher and taught grades Kindergarten-3rd for six years before deciding to stay home with my little ones. I am grateful to have had that time with them, but now that they are both in school, I have decided to dive headfirst into creating again. I always knew that my path would eventually lead to art in some form but it just took some time to get here and work up the courage to share my art with others.

If you love southern charm and that welcome home feeling you get from front porch sitting and sweet tea drinking, spending time with family and friends who become family, eating outside and enjoying the bounty that the south has to offer then you’ve come to the right place. Most of my art centers around capturing the essence of that feeling so that you can display things in your home that bring more than just beauty but also that feeling of home by bringing in the elements of the south that we all know and love. I am inspired by the beauty around me and you should be too. I hope to capture that southern essence by sculpting its unique forms and capturing the beautiful pastoral colors that bring life and comfort to your home. Whether you are buying for yourself or a “sussie” for a someone special, I would love to create something meaningful for you.- SoLouVie “South Louisiana Life”
