“Longing for the Sweeter Fruit of a New Order” by Ellen Frenkel
Ellen Frenkel
Growing up in Asia (as the child of Methodist missionaries) allowed me to see the extreme hardship of refugees along with the great beauty of many countries, people and events. I would say that the social struggle of many cultures, including my own, has remained my focus and shows up in my artwork.
I have a BA from Austin College (Sherman) in Art and Theatre, and a Master of Product Design from North Carolina State University.
My work primarily revolved around the design of decorative textiles, home furnishings and costuming until I left Dallas with my two sons, for Denton, over 20 years ago, to work at UNT in Facilities Planning and Construction.
In 2010 I took an early retirement to make art and have since been busy with making various kinds of fiber art: quilts, dyeing silk, lacemaking, and some things that defy categories – always leaning towards social justice issues.
I have exhibited in Denton and Dallas, and have received a number of awards for my artwork, along with grants which help continue the work.
