Francine Delgado
Sit down with Costa Rican-Canadian artist Francine Delgado as we discuss what the Lower Your Sights project means to her, her contribution to the anthology, and her thoughts on the unifying power of art.
Q: What does this project mean to you?
Francine: This is a project I wanted to be part of it since I first heard of it. Shane told me his idea for the
script and how it was based on his grandparents’ real-life experience. I just knew I had to be
the artist of this story.
Q: What is your contribution to Lower Your Sights? (Short Story, Pinup, Etc.)
Francine: I am the artist of Merci, a four-page short story.
Q: In addition to supplying food and essential supplies, Voices of Children also provides art therapy to help kids cope and overcome the stress, anxiety, and trauma of living in war conditions. Do you believe art has the power to heal?
Francine: Stories do have the power to connect people and make them feel, and therefore a well told story in the form of a short comic can do the same.
