Frank Stock, A.O.C.A
Born in Lethbridge, Alberta. Frank Stock now resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I graduated from the Ontario College of Art, specializing in figure. My influences are first and foremost everything I see, feel and experience. I paint as I live, present in the places and times of my life. I locate myself in my world, painting what I see in its simple majesty. While studying in Italy I became fascinated with plein air painting. The immediacy of light and freshness associated with working outside has been the source of many of my artistic journeys. Traveling as often as I can now has given me the added joy of my work graces private collections, corporate collections in North America, Europe and Asia.
