Helen Frank is a master of the narrative gesture. Her work recreates the specifics of time, place and subject with the essential line or brushstroke. Besides being a keen observer, she also tells the story of what captured her attention to begin with. It is in the exact and honest details of her observations that she portrays the universal truths of the human existence. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Library of Congress as well as many other museums.

Holly and Ruby Ray Scalera are the second and third generations of this talented artist well known playwright and lyricist, Sid Frank. They have contributed poetry and prose to this multi media show and just published book, The Road to Dublin. This inspirational family makes art, music and writing part of the fabric of their travels though life.
