Whitby born and bred Frank left for a career in the Army serving over seventeen years in the UK, BAOR, Bermuda, Singapore and Malaya. He took early retirement as a Major 'to live the good life' as a smallholder high up on the moors above Littlebeck. Five years later he changed direction to work with people with learning difficulties, another very rewarding challenge which lasted over seventeen years. |

In 1988, thanks to his wifes artistic talent, his interest in painting increased from mild to serious. Frank says "I began with watercolours, but enjoyed oils much more. Sea, landscape, figurative, action and portrait painting bring me the greatest pleasure". |
