Her recurring imagery act as an alphabet, combined in order to evoke feelings of grief, love, sorrow, ecstasy, mourning and exultation. Frank's process begins with some form of abstraction from which she teases out what she describes as a pre-existing time and atmosphere where events can take place. Without allegiance to any particular way of working or medium, Frank is fueled by her ever present urge for direct and honest expression. Frank works across disciplines as a sculptor, painter, photographer and gifted ceramic artist. In the early 1950s she studied with Hans Hofmann and Max Beckmann. Born in London, England, in 1933 Mary Frank moved to the United States with her family in 1940.
