This early Washington, D.C. painter and teacher was a member of the Washington Watercolor Club, Miniature Painters, Sculptors & Gravers Society and the Washington Art Club. Combs was employed as a drawing teacher at the Corcoran Gallery and School of Art (1902-1914) and her work was included in their exhibition, 'Woman at the Corcoran'. Thomas Jackson Simmons, college president of Wake Forest University and curator of the Simmons collection, remarked that Frances Combs was "the best-known watercolor painter in Washington, D.C."

Over the course of a long and successful career, Frances Combs exhibited widely and with success including at the Washington Watercolor Club (1918-1927, 1936, 1938, 1939), the Greater Washington Independent Exhibition of 1935, the Miniature Painters, Sculptors & Gravers Society (1937, 1939) and the Women's City Club (1941). Her works are held in numerous private and public collections including the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum of American Art.
