Bio: Born into a Korean family in Tokyo, raised in the United States, and having lived in Germany for many years, Bernadette Jiyong Frank is a San Francisco Bay Area–based artist working across painting, photography, and public art. Through translucent layers of oil paint and precise geometric processes, she explores perception, light, and the shifting relationship between structure and instability, creating atmospheric works that change with light and the viewer's movement.
Frank has presented solo exhibitions at Dolby Chadwick Gallery and Triangle Gallery in San Francisco, Galerie Beate Berndt in Augsburg, the Carnegie Institution for Science, and the Bait Al Salmaniya Cultural Center in Bahrain. Her work has also been exhibited at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts, and Southern Exposure.
She has completed public art commissions for the San Francisco Arts Commission and the Waterfront Public Art Project in Whangārei. Her work is included in the collections of the Crocker Art Museum, the Triton Museum of Art, and the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, and has been featured in *New American Paintings* (#103 and #121).
Frank is represented by Dolby Chadwick Gallery and IdeelArt.
