- Frances Esther Dudley Porteous was born in Ste. Petronille, today Beaulieu, Quebec in 1896. She studied art at the Art Association of Montreal, at the London County Council School of Design in London, and later in Paris. She favoured landscapes, still lifes, town and city scenes. Her work was described in an article in the Montreal Gazette as "free in handling" and "confident." Porteous taught art at King's Hill in Compton, Quebec and later exhibited with the Canadian Group of Painters in 1939, and with the Royal Canadian Academy in 1929 and in 1940. She studied further with Arthur Lismer at the Art Association of Montreal and was a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
