A FAMILY OF PAINTERS
Dorothy Francis: 1923 – 2016
The matriarch of the Francis painters, Dorothy instilled a love of art in her sons at an early age.
For most of her career Dorothy’s art has been centered round Canada’s Inuit and First Nations people. The sensitivity shown for her subjects has resulted in her artwork being both, collected around the world, and being widely published through limited and open edition prints as well as art cards.

Tim Francis: 1949 –
Tim has been involved with art from as early as he can remember. He completed the Applied Arts program in college before working in the newspaper industry as an Art and Advertising executive.
As well as being an accomplished painter, Tim’s drumming skills have kept him busy driving the beat behind various working rock/funk/blues bands over the years.
Now living in Kamloops, BC, Tim produces vivid landscapes of the area.
