Frances has been painting since her early childhood, and studied at the Belfast College of Art 1961-1964 Her artistic career has progressed though teaching art, fabric designing, creating her unique fantasy porcelain sculptures, painting exotic flower studies to her real love and passion, painting landscapes in her own distinctive style.
