He has known ever since, that being an artist is the only creative outlet in life he desires.

Initially, Franco favored drawing, he pulled inspiration from beloved painters such as Salvador Dali, Michelangelo, and da Vinci. as he formed a passion for surrealism.

His artistic passion was put on a brief hold while he served in the US Army from 2006-to 2010.  Upon returning from his deployment in Iraq, he picked up his paintbrush, springing him forward onto his journey of becoming a fine artist. His artistic efforts focused on the fantasy genre, and of course, his long-time childhood love of Disney characters and storytelling.

He dreamed of one day becoming a Disney artist and making that his greatest life goal. Now, a reality, he’s determined to create the most beautiful, classic Disney art, yet with a flare, which makes them only recognizable as a Jared Franco piece.
