Francesca Kempfer

Hometown:
Milwaukee

Hobbies?
Creating intricate/colorful/original mandalas with acrylics on canvas, and with Prismacolor colored pencils on blank notecards.

Ideal Saturday night?
A hot, home-cooked meal, cold beer and conversation at home in front of a fire. Then, drawing and/or board games with my incredibly smart and talented family: daughter Ariana (15); sons Calvin (7) and Oliver (1); and husband, Glenn.

Comfort food?
My homemade roast chicken and veggie pot-pie with a not-so-secret ingredient inside ... cheese curds!
