Mary Frances Foster is an independent designer, art director, and visual artist based in St. Louis, Missouri, specializing in brand, package, and print design, as well as mixed media illustration.
Enamored with evidence of the human hand in the world and informed by an affinity for music, I strive to create tender and true narratives. My work is rooted in curiosity, driven by connection, and carried through with an eye toward craftsmanship.

"There is a feeling in the work of Mary Frances Foster that is hard to pin down. It’s authentically rural, but doesn’t resort to tired Southern clichés. It’s elegant, but also unapologetically powerful. It’s subtly epic, but intensely personal at the same time. She chooses words with an upright honesty that communicates meaning far beyond their literal interpretation, and there are just enough unexpected elements in the layouts to keep you guessing. She has an aesthetic that feels all her own. In fact, the only thing I can accurately compare it to is listening to someone like Neko Case or Gillian Welch." Brad Surcey, designworklife, 2012
