Frank grew up in Blue Ridge, GA,  in the North Georgia mountains.  After graduating from high school and spending two years in the U.S. Navy, he attended the University of Georgia and  earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. After graduating from college, he entered the commercial art field where he worked for thirty-seven years.  
     Frank's work in the fine art field was primarily in the watercolor medium until about eight years ago when, with the inspiration of some outstanding teachers, his interest in the oil medium was rekindled. Since that time he has worked in oils, and watercolor with a series of paintings of flowers in watercolor.
     A love of nature is reflected in Frank's paintings. The excitement of a sunrise and the tranquility of a sunset are great inspirations to him. These are the magic times of day with their beautiful colors and values.
     Frank lives and works at his home studio in Thomaston, GA, with his wife, Barbara. They have three married children and six grandchildren.
