Frank has been interested in art all his life and always received encouragement from family and art teachers when growing up in Northern Idaho. After high school, he came to Seattle to study Advertising and Design at Cornish School of Allied Arts. Frank also took courses at the University of Washington in Portrait Sculpture and Graphic Design, studied portraiture with Leslie B. DeMille at the Scottsdale Artist’s School and studied painting under William F. Reese. He finds inspiration from many artists, the old masters and contemporaries alike. His favorites are always changing as he grows and changes as an artist.

Frank had his first solo exhibition shortly after graduation from Cornish, then began working in the graphic arts field as a corporate designer and illustrator. During this period he painted numerous portraits and other fine art commissions, operating a gallery and studio part-time with a fellow artist. While Frank’s first love is portaiture, his extensive boating experience in the waters of Washington state and British Columbia, Canada, has inspired many marine paintings. Recent works also depict new experiences sailing in Croatia and the Caribbean Islands.
