Frank van Veen
Most of my life, my home has been Edmonton and, since 2000, it is in Parkland County. I studied art at the University of Alberta in the early 1970’s; worked as a labourer, as a carpenter and as a teacher. I am a husband, a father and a grandfather.
In 2002 I started painting again and since then have been working in art as a VASA resident artist, working for several non-profit organizations where I used my art skills, including Artist on the Wards at the University of Alberta Hospitals, where I continue to be involved.
My work has been shown locally in the Edmonton area in the past fifteen years: Parkwest Painters Show, The Kings University College, Studio Gallery, the Glenrose Blue Curve Gallery, the Stanley Milner Library, local churches, McMullen Gallery, and at the EAG.
