Frank is a retired Portland Police Officer that still lives alone, still drives and continues to enjoy his weekly poker nights with friends and family. He began working in stained glass 40+ years ago, and his home of many years features his stained glass in windows and doors. When working with stained glass became too difficult due to age, he switched to making beautiful fused glass platters, vases and bowls, and he spends as much time as possible in his basement creating pieces with unique pattern and color designs. When asked why he enjoys working with glass so much, Frank said, “I really love bright colors and the challenge of producing intricate designs. Plus, working with glass allows me to make a variety of items in very different ways. I’m not limited to making just one thing and I don’t get bored”.
Frank’s glasswork has been featured in several art galleries and gift shops in the Portland metro area, and can currently be found at the Geezer Gallery in Multnomah Village.
