Helen Frank (nee Goodzeit) was born in 1930 in Maplewood, New Jersey. From an early age she knew she wanted to be an artist, and her parents fully supported her while she attended the New School, the Tyler School of Fine Arts at Temple University, Yale University, the Art Students League, and Cooper-Union, immersing herself in all aspects of art and eventually finding her calling in etchings and watercolors. In 1952 she married Sid Frank, a writer and lyricist for Off Broadway plays and musicals, with whom she had two children. Although almost her entire life was spent within a seventy mile stretch of the lower New England area, she began a nationally recognized figure championing arts appreciation, cultural diversity and identity, immigrant and women’s rights, and an outspoken proponent of many more causes and art forms. Her work is in the collections of the Library Of Congress, New York Public Library, New York Historical Society, Museum of Modern Art, Victoria and Albert Museum, New Jersey State Museum, Newark Public Library, American Museum of Immigration, UNICEF, Lafayette College, New Jersey Center for Visual Arts, Saks Fifth Avenue and New York Life Insurance Company, New York Mets, and Habitat for Humanity. In 2008 Helen collaborated with her daughter, award-winning poet Holly Scalera, to create an art and poetry collection based on the lives of the cloistered nuns at the Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary. In 2013 she was on the Griffin Art Prize Shortlist, and in 2023 she was featured in the documentary film Rembrandt Lives in New Jersey, directed by Kasey Child. Since the passing of her husband in 2017 she continues to work from her home studio in Springfield, New Jersey, even into her mid 90s.
