Frances Harris, now in her late 80's and becoming visually impaired, is as youthful and vivacious as ever. She still travels throughout British Columbia finding her own images to inspire her paintings and has recently travelled through Italy, France and Mexico. This past year she called us excitedly announcing her flight in a floatplane over the grandiose Chilcoltin Region. She is an inspiration to all younger artists.
Proceeds of Frances Harris's works over the past few years have gone to the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan (formerly known as the Penticton Community Foundation), to establish the Frances Harris Endowment Fund which will provide an annual scholarship to a deserving South Okanagan 3rd year Fine Arts student.
