Frank Scheurich was born in Offenbach, Germany in 1956. His father, an art school graduate and accomplished watercolorist, encouraged Frank's artistic expression through exposure to art history, museums and the castles of his native region. After High School, where Frank excelled in his art courses and studio work, he struck off to see, first- hand, all of the major European art centers. 

Next came the Indian subcontinent, where Frank immersed himself in the ancient and vital cultures of many major metropolitan areas and small rural villages. Still in his twenties, Frank decided to live in and explore the Americas. Since his early youth, the Incan, Aztec and North American Indian people and traditions had captured his imagination. 

Supporting himself as an artisan, Frank settled in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California until, sadly, he was sent to prison in August of 1986. Meeting such a daunting life change as a unique challenge, Frank Scheurich decided to seriously develop his artistic vision and painting technique. For over ten years, Frank has explored all manner of mediums including oil, watercolor, and gouache. 

The native people of the Americas are a never-ending source of interest and subject matter for his paintings. At other times, delicate still-life compositions and realistic wildlife studies serve as inspiration for the artist.

In addition to an appreciative audience of private collectors in both the United States and Europe, Oxford University recently honored Frank's work with inclusion in “The History of Western Prisons”. Most recently, the artist has exhibited his work at both the Sonora Art Center and Santa Clara University in California and was presented his third William James Associates Art Award.
