Fish Factory

Frank Webster is a painter who lives in Queens, NY.

Webster received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his MFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University. He also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Webster is the recipient of numerous awards including the NYFA Fellowship in Painting and the Pollock Krasner Award. He has been awarded residencies at the Arctic Circle Residency, NES Artist Residency, The Sharpe Walentas Space Program, Painting Space 122, The Ucross Foundation, The Corporation of Yaddo and The MacDowell Colony among others. In the Spring of 2024 he presented a solo exhibition Earthed Lightning at Isabel Sullivan Gallery in New York.

Webster’s work—ranging from small, ethereal watercolors to 10-foot wide panoramic paintings—depicts both the nuanced allure of the natural world and humanity’s interdependent relationship with it. His formal exploration of this tenuous harmony with our ecosystem is apparent in all of his work. 

During his time at the Fish Factory, Webster researched the region and documented the landscape with a primary focus on the glaciers of Iceland. Working between traditional en plein air painting and photography he collected inspiration for future works on paper and large scale studio paintings.
