Early life and education

[edit]

The eldest of four girls, Frances Farrand was born on 22 November 1878 in Lansing, Michigan. Her father, Hart Augustus Farrand (1850–1938), had a grocery store in Lansing and her mother, Effie Ann Shank (1854–1918) was an accomplished wood carver who created much of the furniture for their home.

She studied art at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, the Michigan State University, Syracuse University, and the Art Students League of New York. Among her teachers were Frank Duveneck, Lewis Henry Meakin, and Joseph Pennell.[1][2][3]

In 1907 she married Arthur Charles Dodge (1880–1969) in Lansing, Michigan.[4] The couple moved to Chicago, where she received specialized training in watercolor with Frederic Milton Grant (1886–1959), a student of William Merritt Chase.[5]

Career and legacy

In the 1920s Dodge lived in St. Paul, Minnesota and Ohio,[a] where she continued studying with Herman Henry Wessel (1878–1969).

In 2011 the Women's Historical Center and Hall of Fame in Lansing featured works by her from their own collection in Selected Works from the Michigan Women’s Historical Center Art Collection.[10]
