Son of artist, Wycliffe Egginton, RI (1875-1951), Frank Egginton was born in Cheshire and first visited Ireland in the 1930s.
He is synonymous with views in watercolour of the Irish countryside, particularly county Donegal. From the early 1930s
many of his works were shown at the RHA, and later, from 1952 at the Victor Waddington Gallery in Dublin. In the UK his
works were shown at the Fine Art Society and Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, London and the Walker Art
Gallery, Liverpool among others. The artist’s daughter and son-in-law own ‘The Gallery’, Dunfanaghy Co. Donegal since
1968.
