Frances Mann writes about her painting:

My small landscape paintings tend to be ‘portraits’ of the light at a particular time. A colour chord to do with a specific light is always the most important thing but space is vital too and therefore so is the drawing. I love Cezanne’s phrase ‘a minute of the world going by’.

Frances trained at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts in the seventies where she met and subsequently married the painter Sargy Mann. She has exhibited regularly in London, and taught at Camberwell and the Royal Drawing School.
