A full time professional artist for over thirty years, Frank's formal art education
took place at the School of Practical Art and the Art Institute of Boston with further
studies under Marcho Lolo Marchi and Steven Yankopolis. The artist has won many
awards for his paintings and porcelain sculptures of nature. His work has been featured
in the New York State Museum, and in art galleries from New England to California as
well as in Switzerland. On October 9, 1998 he was a featured artist on ABC's nationally
televised "Good Morning America" show. A prolific painter, Wilson has created over 1,800 original works in oils and
watercolors since 1995. The wilds of nature in all it's diversity is the common
denominator for this multi-talented artist. The hills and mountains in the wilderness
areas of Northern New England and Northern California are the inspiration for his widely
ranging work in various media. Hiking by the light of the full moon has inspired Frank to
create a series of "nocturnal" watercolors. Climbing in the high country, the artist has
witnessed the light of dawn and dusk and translated those moments into dramatic
paintings. These unique watercolor and gouache paintings capture the magic of a
moonlit winter's evening or a mountain sunset. Wilson also paints in oils, which he prefers to emphasize the atmospheric quality
of mountain vistas and winding trails. Still life painting fills in those times when the
artist cannot venture into the wilds. Wilson is known for his "landscape portraits" of well
known natural beauty spots and paintings of wildlife. His wildlife art has been exhibited
in many of the major Eastern Wildlife Art Shows and two of his paintings were published
in Canada as limited edition prints of six thousand each which have sold out. Frank Wilson has always had a deep appreciation for natural beauty and a
reverence for the natural world. He combines his passion for art and nature in his studio
to produce works that bring enjoyment to others.
