Frances Burr Ely Reynolds (November 24, 1890 – March 28, 1974) was an American artist, known for her fantasy medieval bas-relief murals in gesso.

Her father was a member of the governing committee of the New York Stock Exchange, and her mother was a clubwoman on Long Island.

[2][3] Her uncle was Massachusetts politician and banker Isaac Tucker Burr Jr.[4] Both of her brothers died in 1923.

[6] After a trip to Italy in 1922,[7][8] Burr painted detailed murals in gesso, featuring fantasy medieval scenes, on the walls of her own home.

[10] An Indiana reviewer found her work "intensely interesting" and "well-thought-out" but thought the overall effect like that of "an assemblage of toys grouped upon a flat surface".

[21][22] After World War II, she became interested in astronomy, gave evening lectures on the night sky,[23][24] and made constellation charts for school use.
