Frank F. English was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1854.  English worked in watercolor, primarily painting landscapes of the countryside and the activities along the Delaware River.

English studied with Thomas Eakins and Thomas Anshutz at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1881-1882.  He traveled to England, Holland, and Nova Scotia, where he sketched and made paintings.
