"I have always had an appreciation for fine woodwork, architectural and furniture. I am comforted by the resilient feel underfoot of a fine wood floor and the soft smoothness of a well used handrail. I am most drawn to pieces that emphasize the natural beauty of the grain and figure of wood and to simple and functional designs of everyday utilitarian objects such as seen in the Shaker heritage and the work of George Nakashima and Sam Maloof. I work with both power and hand tools to produce furniture that is pleasing to the eye, satisfying to the touch and functional in use."

Frank's "Umbrella Bowls" are a hit for everyone!

I began to throw in the early 70’s (1970s, not my age) in Mississippi. It just began as a lark, something interesting to try..then I was hooked. I continued my pottery in Virginia: showing in galleries, in craft shows and as a potter-in-residence. My son, who was a baby at the time, slept in his basket below the display table at craft shows, and watched me throw from his swing.
