Frank Strunk III is a self-taught artist working in Saint Petersburg, Florida. From a background in commerical printing and construction, he made his way to developing his skills as a metal artist who creates evocative and gentle pieces, like the machine which is holding - or being held by - a delicate dancing balloon of parchment.

Frank shares how he became an artist- not just a person who makes art, but someone who gained the confidence to call himself an artist.

He emphasizes the importance of being authentic, vulnerable, and fully open to the depth of every feeling.
