One of the attractions of the small British town is a statue of the author's most famous children's book character. The story of Alice meeting the many curious inhabitants in Wonderland is thought to have accompanied the artist through her childhood. The later artist and illustrator put a face to the story's characters and created a series that contributed to Frances Broomfield's high profile. Frances turned her back on Warrington and moved her centre of life to London after studying art at Newport College. A time that was not easy for the young artist. The contrast between the quiet country life and the bustling city were too great and Francis took a long time to settle in. During this time, the artist found the key to painting in the animals that lived in the city. Marginal figures such as foxes, owls and badgers inspired Frances to create paintings in which animals were the defining elements of the image.
The artist's life in London turned out to be as varied as her work. She developed an interest in alchemy and psychology. She sought proximity to people who could quench her thirst for knowledge. Myths from Greek lore and erected stones from her homeland found their way into the painter's repertoire. Her style is described as fastidiously naive. Naive painting is often attributed to artists who followed a self-taught educational path. Frances Broomfield world springs from her imagination, which she translates into the colors of the full palette. From the colors the artist conjures a wonderful luminosity. Frances paints with oil and tempera on a primed ground and uses a finish that makes the colors shine. The artist lives and works unconventionally. Her most interesting studio was in an old house once owned by Maria Callas. A guild conducted esoteric studies in the house and attracted interesting characters. Frances met an alchemist in the house with whom she exchanged ideas.
The artist's first illustration was a commission for a book cover. The subject was to be a Black Mamba. The only snake that could serve as illustrative material was a specimen in the Natural History Museum. The mamba was in a jar with preservative. Frances Broomfield removed the snake and propped its head on a paper clip. Numerous commissions for illustrations of books followed and there came a time when Frances approached the world of Lewis Carroll. The interpretations of Alice in Wonderland are highly recognizable and popular with collectors around the world. At an auction in which parts of Ringo Starr's collection were called, paintings by Frances Broomfield were present in the lot.
