Frances Ross

Frances Ross is a graduate of Brighton Polytechnic where she studied Fine Art (Painting) after doing a Foundation Course at Portsmouth College of Art. During her time at Brighton she worked as a studio assistant for the constructivist artist Gillian Wise.

Although a career in fine art had to be put on hold for many years Frances attended many classes including painting, ceramics and life drawing.

Frances’s main inspiration comes from a love of colour field and abstract expressionist paintings. Music, choreography and poetry play a huge part as does a fascination with meditation, thought patterns and words.

Her paintings have sold in Canada and the UK and have been selected for open calls nationally in group exhibitions. She will be exhibiting in group shows in St Ives and Leeds in the summer this year.

Frances was born in Derbyshire but has lived all over England as well as the Sultanate of Oman and Canada. She currently lives in North Yorkshire.
