After studying painting in Rouen, France for a year, he was articled as an architect to John Honeyman (1831-1914) and his office, Honeyman & Keppie in Glasgow from 1888 to 1894.
Frances MacDonald, al igual que su hermana Margareth, Charles Rennie Mackintosh y Herbert McNair (con quien se casó en 1899), integró el grupo conocido como “Los Cuatro”, el cual fue el pionero del Estilo Glasgow. Se instruyó en la Escuela de Arte de Glasgow, donde conoció a McNair.
Mackintosh, Herbert MacNair y las hermanas Margaret y Frances Macdonald, que más tarde se llamarían Los Cuatro, conocieron a Beardsley, Voysey y Toorop a través de la revista The Studio. Su producción recoge elementos simbolistas que proceden del prerrafaelismo , pero están “enriquecidos” por el poeta lírico belga Maeterlinck.
