Alumni Update: Yetti Frenkel ’85 Creates Murals and Sculptures Across New England
Alumna Yetti Frenkel ’85 has just finished a big mural and mosaic project in Central Square, Lynn, working in partnership with artists David Fichter and Joshua Winer. The project took six years and includes mosaics created by students in all of the middle and high schools in Lynn. The mural is designed in a series of painted arches surrounding a mosaic gateway, that shows scenes of contemporary and historical Lynn places and characters. It’s 45′ high x 64′ wide.
Frenkel’s mosaic sculpture Bunny Bench is also included in the Fuller Craft Museum’s Biennial member’s exhibition.
Public murals are a specialty for artist Yetti Frenkel. She has painted murals for nine public libraries in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, several of them on the North Shore, and for numerous schools and communities. Her images depict nature, seasons, animals, children, memorials and community history. She has created murals with children in public and private schools during residencies and workshops, and is on the Creative Teaching Partners Roster of the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
