Francis Fearn engaged in a multifarious range of occupational pursuits including gold-prospecting - which unfortunately brought him no luck. He worked at various times as a scene-painter, theatre lessee, and promoter of entertainments. His artistic pursuits were no less varied and in 1884 these finally enabled him to set up as a full-time artist.
