Frank's  work has been accepted in many National and local juried art competitions.  He is a signature member of the Georgia Watercolor Society,  a Juried Member of Watercolor West, a Participating Member of Florida Watercolor Society, an a active member of Englewood Art Center.

Early in Frank's experimental journey through art mediums he developed a strong interest and love for transparent watercolor. His quest for knowledge and techniques related to this watery medium has lead to the study books and videos by many of his favorite watercolorists, such as Rowland Hilder, Tony Couch, John Koser, Tony Van Hasselt and Judy Wagner and workshops with Douglas Teller and Max Muller.

In 2001 Frank retired from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and moved from West Palm Beach to Englewood, Florida  to pursue his love of making flies, fly fishing in his Carolina Skiff and painting watercolors fulltime.
