Trained at Herkomer Art School, Bushey, Frances Ewan worked on the staff of an illustrated weekly newspaper before moving to London in 1896. She illustrated a number of books on a wide range of subjects.

By 1911 she had moved to St Ives, working from first 6 Porthmeor Studios, then from Number 2.  Her early exhibits were aquatints and etchings, and later during the 1930s watercolours and oils. She produced some portraits and coastal and harbour scenes as well as flower studies in the 1950s.  She was also a member of the Arts Club.
