About To Get Lucky
Frank has been interpreting the world around him with pen, pencil and paintbrush since his early days, when he filled margins of notebooks with doodles, faces, landscapes and characters. He started working on canvas after college, but the realities of life, raising a family and paying the bills kept him from the studio. As his children reached high school age, he began doing murals for friends and local businesses and started collecting followers. He did a few municipal art projects and garnered private commissions, which led to work on canvas and theatrical set design and chalk. He’s painted walls, floors and ceilings and sculpted surfaces. By now, this Renaissance man spends every day working on his art in one form or another. It also helped that with the kids out of the house, one of the bedrooms – the one with the wrap-around mural he created for one of his daughters – became his studio.
His murals, each a unique interpretation, grace dining room walls and palatial entryways, creating spots of inspiration and solace. They are also featured prominently in historic parks and downtowns, even gracing a three-dimensional grizzly bear that celebrates an international cycling event. He was recently awarded Best of Theme at the City of Carlsbad’s ArtSplash for his chalk homage to photographer Ansel Adams. His interpretations of forest, beach or urban landscapes on canvas have been featured at art shows and hang in private galleries.
