What a delight to discover yet another distinguished former pupil, in
the person of Hannah Frank. Hannah is a well renowned artist and
sculptor whose work is respected and critically acclaimed. An exhibition
of Hannah's work will be touring the UK over the next four years and
will finish in Glasgow in 2008, the year of Hannah Frank's centenary.
Hannah resides at Westacres Care Home in Newton Mearns where some of her
sculptures and drawings are on show. Visit her site, "Hannah Frank - A
Glasgow Artist" at this link:

and discover, or rediscover, the wonderful talent of this amazing
artist.
note: Hannah Frank passed away a few months
after reaching her 100th birthday
