Frank Gardner

Frank Gardner is an artist working and living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. He was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, New York. Encouraged in his creative pursuits at home and in school, Frank followed his dream of attending art school. He graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1986 with a BFA in Painting. A desire to explore the world and find true inspiration for his paintings eventually led him on his second trip to Mexico in 1990. He arrived in San Miguel and has made it his home ever since.

Gardner’s painting style is a combination of contemporary impressionism and representational art. He adeptly captures his subject’s mood, whether it be a dramatic landscape, colorful Mexican street scene, or animals in a field. The combination of confident brushwork, dynamic compositions and lively color invokes true character in his work. Although Mexico inspires a large amount of Frank’s paintings, his diverse subject matter includes landscapes from the northeast and western parts of the United States as well as paintings from European travels.

Frank Gardner is represented by several fine galleries in the US and Mexico and his work is part of numerous collections across North America and Europe.
