Growing up on a Illinois farm, Ms. Frankino learned patience,
process and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the world
around her. She earned her bachelors degree from Illinois State
University and her MFA from the Savannah College of Art and
Design. She is known for her meticulous craftsmanship and
original designs. Her rural background carries over into her work
via the 'catch and release' process in which she captures the
textures of our environment in precious metals.
