Biography
Frances Alty-Arscott was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1956. Frances possessed a love of painting from an early age which led her to enter art college while still in elementary school. Upon graduation from Victoria Composite High in 1976, she entered the University of Fine Arts program and graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
Since this time Frances has continued her professional development through attendance at various seminars and through workshops at the Emma Lake School in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Her love of painting and her commitment to use her skills and education have led Frances to pursue art exclusively as her vocation. Frances currently paints full time and teaches courses and workshops in which she encourages innovation in watercolour.
