Fauteaux, Claire - Born Montreal, Quebec, 1890; Died?, 1988
Marie Claire Fauteux studied at the Art Association of Montreal, and then traveled to Europe to continue studying art. She painted portraits and landscapes, worked as a mural decorator, and a professor of fine arts. She first exhibited her work at the Art Association of Montreal in 1912, and continued to show her paintings there until 1947. She debuted her work at the Royal Canadian Academy in 1916, but would only show there four more times before 1947…. She was a teacher at the boarding school Notre Dame du Sacre Coeur in New York, and at the Trafalgar Institute in Montreal. After the First World War she went to Paris with the bursary she received from the Women's Art Society in 1921. Fauteux became the Minister of Foreign Affairs while in France. She took classes from Maurice Denis for two years, and then traveled to Rome in 1927. Fauteux was held as a prisoner at the Besancon concentration camp during the German occupation of France, and for the next four years in captivity she made drawings that depicted how she and her inmates spent their time. These drawings would later be rendered into paintings, as well as provide illustrations for her own book, "Fantastic Interlude." When she returned to Canada in 1947 she was featured in an exposition at the Galerie l'Art francais in Montreal. She would then go on to teach painting at the School of Fine Arts in Montreal.[source: Canadian Women Artists History Initiative]

Fitzgibbon, Agnes Dunbar Moodie - Born Cobourg, Ontario, 1833; Died Toronto, Ontario, 1913
Agnes Fitzgibbon (née Dunbar Moodie) learned to paint flower pictures from her mother Susanna Moodie. She married barrister Charles Fitzgibbon who died when she was only 32, leaving her with a family to support. She decided to put together a volume of flower illustrations, with text provided by Catharine Parr Traill's lengthy manuscript. Fitzgibbon then acquired a specially prepared block of limestone from a printer, on which she drew the first of her own exquisite floral designs and printed 500 plates. While selling subscriptions for "Canadian Wild Flowers" in Ottawa, she was introduced to her future husband, Colonel Brown Chamberlin, a lawyer, owner of the Gazette (Montreal), who was later appointed Queens Printer. Her work was shown at the Philadelphia Centennial exhibition from 1864-1867. Her collection is held in the Department of Botany at the University of Toronto.

Jimmy Frise was a self-taught artist born near Lake Scugog, Ontario. His cartoons of “Birds-eye Center’ satirized rural Ontario life.

Frome, Nils Helmer (1918-1962)
Nils Helmer Frome was born in Ratansbyrn, Jamtland, Sweden on July 10th, 1918. After his mother died, he was given by his father to another family to raise. At the age of 4, he refused to go back to living with his father! Eventually he was adopted by a foster family, who moved to Canada in 1924, ultimately settling in Fraser Mills, B.C. He spent most of his time collecting science fiction, reading history, drawing and writing. After high school he attended Vocational Art School in Vancouver. In the summer of 1953 he was hospitalized but spent much of the time drawing, expanding his artistic skills. Afterwards, among other jobs all over B.C. working for various companies, he did design work for the Dept. of Recreation & Conservation. Then he came back to the Lower Mainland and tried to survive as a commercial artist. Despite selling illustrations of B.C. "buildings, ships, trains & places" to newspapers, success eluded him. He died March 27, 1962. Nils Frome contributed an ink sketch of Fort Langley, B. C. to the Historic Sites series of postcards. He wrote and illustrated, an early science fiction fanzine known as SUPRAMUNDANE STORIES beginning in Oct 1936.
