Yetti Frenkel

My work documents scenes of everyday life, often with a narrative implication. I work in the tradition of the Ashcan Artists, using regional and local inspiration to create images that have a universal message.
In addition to fine art, I have an extensive portfolio of public art projects, including murals and mosaics for nine public libraries.

BFA from the School of the Museum of fine Arts, Boston, and Tufts University
