Rainbarrow Studio

Rainbarrow Studio Fine Art, Art Instruction and Graphic Design by artist Frank Sullivan Frank Sullivan showed an interest in art at an early age, drawing incessantly as a child.

Through high school, he studied with a local artist, George Lynch. In 1986 he earned a B.A. in Visual Arts from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA, where he studied drawing and printmaking with Elizabeth Peak. While at Holy Cross, Frank was fortunate to be exposed to the work of visiting artists Michael Mazur and Richard Sheehan, whose work had a lasting impact on him. He later attende

d The American University on a graduate fellowship in printmaking, but left after one semester to pursue a career in music for the next ten years, while continuing to draw regularly as well as teaching drawing classes and doing freelance illustration. In 1998, when his music was stalled due to an over-use injury, he enrolled in the Graphic Design Certificate program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where he studied 2-D design, color theory and advanced drawing under Maggie Fitzpatrick and illustration under Joe Landry. After completing the Graphic Design program, he worked in the Boston area for seven years as a Graphic Designer, Art Director and Illustrator. During this time, he began devoting much of his spare time to making and studying art, first in pastels and later in oils. In January of 2006, hIe moved to northern Maine to focus on art full time. He converted an old potato house on his property into a studio and gallery where he currently displays his work and teaches classes in drawing and painting throughout the year.
