Frakes received a BFA from the University of Tulsa in Fine Art and Graphic Design. He is a member of Oil Painters of America and has exhibited in many galleries and events. His work has been published in Better Homes and Gardens and small architecture BIG LANDSCAPES.
In a recent effort to take his art in a direction he had not yet tried, Frakes started painting outside on location. He said he tries to “capture what he sees” quickly, allowing him to concentrate on color choices. Frakes encourages anyone wanting to be an artist to just do it, trying many different materials, subjects, and methods.
