Frank Strasser is a self taught artist, born in Culver City, California in 1954. He earned a B.A. in English from Loyola Marymount University in 1976. In 1979 he left for Europe, touring nine countries and every museum on the map. He was inspired by Van Gogh and The French Impressionists to paint. Back in the states, he worked various day jobs, moonlighting as a painter. When a year as an electrical apprentice left little time for painting, he quit. At the Social And Public Arts Resource Center, (SPARC), he painted with acclaimed muralist Judy Baca, continuing to develop his own artistic style. |
