Frances Mabel Hollams (1877–1963), who signed her works F.M. Hollams, was a popular British painter of horses and dogs, active in the first three decades of the 20th century. She is noted for her technique of painting on wood panel with no background, so that the grain of the wood is visible. Growing up at Dene Park in Shipbourne she later moved to Puttenden Manor near the hamlet of Dunks Green. Mabel studied under the artist Frank Calderdon and, at a time when most schools did not accept female students, she studied in Paris at Académie Julian.
Hollams was a prolific painter of animals, mainly horses. She painted for Royalty and many aristocratic families. One of her paintings, a royal horse, hangs in the Mounted Branch Museum at Imber Court. She was also one of the first female Royal Academicians, exhibiting eight paintings, and in 1899 was elected to the Society of Women Artists.
She was married to Charles Lionel Fox, a land agent who worked for racehorse owners the Cazelet family. She signed her pieces with "F.M. Hollams". Francis Mabel Hollams's work has been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices ranging up to 18,076 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork. Since 1998 the record price for this artist at auction is 18,076 USD for The plough team, sold at Bonhams Knightsbridge in 2012. Ref sources Wikipedia, Christie’s & Mutualart
