Originally from Canada, now living in Switzerland Franklyn studied at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto Canada. He studied sculpture and specializes in wood but also worked with metal, plastic and lots of painting too.
“I originally started into landscape painting after I had taken an art teacher position at a homeless youth drop in centre in Toronto Canada. I had studied modern art and abstract painting but these youth had no interest in anything abstract at all. So I started to do some landscape painting at the family’s cottage up in Quebec and actually sold the first landscape I did.”
