Hello! My name is Frances Maas, and I am a dedicated and experienced Registered Early Childhood Educator with almost 40 years of service. Originally from Hamilton, Ontario, I currently reside in Burlington where I have worked with children of all ages and abilities, and their families, fostering nurturing and inclusive environments that promote growth and development.
In addition to my work in early childhood education, I am a talented artist who has had the opportunity to work on innovative projects that bring art to the community. As part of the Artists and Children Together Initiative at the Milton Community Resource Centre, I was part of a dynamic team of Artists who delivered authentic art experiences to classrooms and community spaces.
I have explored my painting skills under the guidance of Michelle Guitard, Artist and Owner of Art and Soul Creative in Georgetown. I continue to develop my artistic abilities through a weekly artist meet-up, where I learn from and share my passion with fellow artists.
Through my photography, I also express my visual perspective, capturing moments and beauty through my lens. With a lifelong commitment to creative expression and early childhood education, I hope to inspire others to explore their own creativity and potential.

The inspiration for The Wandering Artist was born out of my own experiences as a community-based artist. Witnessing firsthand the transformative power of art, I saw how it brought joy, uplifted spirits, and empowered individuals to find their voice. I realized that art has the unique ability to break down barriers and unite people across diverse backgrounds and perspectives. As I watched creative expression bring people together, sparking new ideas and fostering a sense of community, I knew I had to share this gift with others. And so, The Wandering Artist was founded, with a mission to make art accessible, inclusive, and a catalyst for connection and self-expression.
