Frances Bannerman
Frances Bannerman (née Jones) (1855 – 1940) was a Nova Scotian painter and poet. She was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1855. She was the youngest daughter of Lt. Governor Alfred G. Jones and Margaret Wiseman Stairs[1]. She grew up in what is now the Waegwoltic Club. She produced watercolours, oils, and black and white illustrations. In 1886, at age 31, she married Hamlet Bannerman, a London painter, in Halifax and that year they moved to Great Marlowe, England.[2] Her best-known poem is "An Upper Chamber", which is included in the Oxford Book of English Verse.
She was elected an Associate of the Royal Canadian Academy in 1882.[3] She moved to Italy in 1901, and stayed there until the Second World War forced her to leave. She returned to Torquay, England, where she died in 1944.[4]
