Alyce Frank (1932 – January 16, 2024) was an American landscape painter.
Frank was born in New Iberia, Louisiana, in 1932.[1] She moved to Los Angeles and Tulsa at a young age.[2] At the age of 15, she applied to a liberal arts program and was accepted at the University of Chicago, graduating three years later, in 1950.[3] She moved to Los Angeles, where she attended graduate school at UCLA and the University of Southern California (USC). At USC she met Larry Frank, an aspiring filmmaker; they married in 1953.[2]
For ten years, she worked on educational films that her husband produced.[2] Her work as a film editor helped cultivate her sense of composition, something that served her well when she took up painting.[4]
