In Paris, he was a student at the School of Fine Arts then exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français - In 1885, he exhibited in New York and Chicago in 1893 alongside the American Impressionists. Lovers of Paris, its quays and of its monuments, attached to the banks of the Seine throughout its course - insatiable admirer of French and foreign ports, he has multiplied the views of these sites in solidly built paintings - with skies swept by clouds, often covered. - Thus F. Boggs painted in Normandy, Brittany, Holland, England and Venice - His favorite motifs are rivers and ports whose aquatic element allows him to suggest the multiple nuances of the atmosphere.

He also distinguished himself with his highly regarded watercolors.
