Frank Kaczmarek is a self-taught artist and started his career as a street artist in Quebec. He later worked with artists in New Orleans and Copenhagen gaining experience in style and technique. Mr. Kaczmarek spent a lot of time in Paris where the museums and atmosphere contributed to his artistic viewpoint.

Commercially, he settled on the nautical and floral subjects because of the daily pleasure he receives from working with them. With nautical images, the combination of air, water, light and shadow with a beautiful sailing vessel creates a magical composition. The floral still-life offers an endless variety of colors and objects combined with the play of light giving them a kind of mystery. His artwork has been featured in galleries throughout the United States, Europe and Japan.

Mr. Kaczmarek resides in the New England area and works at night because it is quiet and peaceful and contributes to his concentration and

Frank Kaczmarek was born in Boston Massachusetts in 1940. The son of a fashion designer, Frank began painting and drawing at a early age. He resides with his family in Pembrook Pines, FL..

Basically a self-taught artist, Frank has worked with various media including watercolor, etching, acrylic painting and silkscreen printing. His work reflects his passions for sailing, golf and architecture. The work is realistic, yet each image relies more on mood rather than a specific place or object for effect.

To produce his prints, Frank employs the techniques of etching and watercolor. After the drawing for the print is etched onto the copper plate, it is immersed in an acid bath which bites away at the etched lines. Then etching ink is applied to the surface of the plate, forcing the ink into the etched lines. The order inked and polished plate is placed on the bed of and etching press and a damp sheet of 100% rag paper is placed on top of it. The pressure of the rollers embosses the lines of ink into the paper. The process is repeated for each etching. After the edition is printed, Frank then handcolors each print.

An important aspect of Frank's work involves the interaction of the watercolor and the moistened paper. He utilizes the absorbent properties of the paper to create a relaxing and calming effect while the hard etched line give a contrasting realism to each print.

Recently Frank has begun producing large scale acrylic paintngs concentrating on a more ambitious format he has been noted for throughout many years.

Frank's etchings and paintings are in collections and galleries throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan.
