Rose Frain talk

She was born in Sunderland, County Durham and studied for her BA Honours Degree in Fine Art at Kings College Durham University, (now Newcastle University), between 1958 -1962, under the tutorage of artist lecturers Richard Hamilton, Victor Pasmore, Lawrence Gowing and Louisa Hodgson.

Since graduation, in addition to raising her son and daughter, she has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally including showing work at the V&A London, Goldsmiths College London, The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Egypt and The British School in Rome.
