Frances Alty-Arscott is an Alberta artist in Edmonton, Alberta. She obtained her BFA from the University of Alberta in 1980. Her paintings are included in public and private collections across Canada and the United States. Her subject matter includes various aspects and seasons of both urban and rural Alberta, expressed in her unique expressionistic style. 
Frances continues to work with watercolours and began using acrylic on canvas in the early 2000's. She transferred her use of vibrate colour from watercolour to acrylic, which allowed her to create larger paintings and participate in more public exhibitions.
​In 2015, she was commissioned to paint a large piece for the Canadian Western Bank in Edmonton, Alberta, leading to additional commissioned works for various clients. 
The artwork of Frances Alty-Arscott is represented  by Rowles Fine Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Alberta, Art Gallery of St. Albert and Jake's Framing in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
