Franc Root McCreery was born in Dodge City, Kansas, USA. McCreery was a painter and illustrator who specialized in portraits. She was an instructor at the Buffalo School of Fine Arts and the University of Buffalo in 1921. Her role as a costume designer for Buffalo Players, Inc. may account for her ability to render textures of clothing, accessories, carpets and other objects. McCreery also illustrated three children’s books by author Jane Abbott. She had studied at the Students School of Art in Denver, Colorado, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Buffalo School of Fine Arts and was a pupil of John H. Vanderpoel, Henry Read and Louis Wilson. She was a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists, League of American Penwomen and Guild of Allied Artists.
