Frank Beanland exhibited under the banner of the Porthleven Group from 1962 to 1964. He then embarked on an impressive exhibiting career, and received many commissions for screens and printed textiles for hospitals, churches and private homes. Recently, he has discovered what he regards as a new and exciting way of making pictures - the use of acrylics on newspaper. He is revelling in the speed at which he can set down his ideas and in the freedom to experiment that no-cost paper encourages.
