Chocolatier

An accomplished photographer, collage artist and baker, Fran Gealer has worked as a photo editor and photographer for magazines like Vogue, Travel & Leisure, Bon Appetit, House & Garden, British Traveller and Departures. She photographed Beatrice Wood in Ojai, months before she died. Of that time with Wood, Gealer recalls the artists’ elegance, her youthful energy, and twinkling smile.
