Iris Duncan Francis b. 21 January 1913

  • Artist (Painter)
Raised in an artistic family Francis was diverse in her art-making, fearlessly experimenting with techniques and media. Equally diverse in her working life, she combined teaching with playing in orchestras to entertain the wartime troops and translating aerial photographs of WA's northwest into topographical maps for the army.
