The challenge I have established in my paintings is to integrate bold color and design to create movement and visual excitement within the format of the static square canvas.
“With her color-soaked arrangements of vegetables, fruits and
hand-painted ceramics, Frank connects to Matisse’s luscious
palette and Bonnard’s graceful rhythms, while establishing
her own eloquent visual harmonies.”

The overhead point of view allows organic
two-dimensional patterns to lead the viewer into the canvas and around three-dimensional weighty objects. My work is a joyful celebration of the beauty of everyday life.
