Frank was a person who was more comfortable with as little attention as possible. He held his feelings and his thoughts to himself more than ever letting them be known. Frank was an accomplished artist, working in oils, pastels, pen and ink, charcoal sketching. He made his subjects live on the canvas or paper with a realism that was unique. He had a particular gift for portrail of people, nature and wild life.
Frank lived from December 1913 to November 2005.
