Frankl exhibited her first artwork in Los Angeles at age seven in a joint show with her father, Paul T. Frankl, world-renowned designer of Art Deco furniture and other objects.

Her courtroom sketches, drawings and paintings from both federal and superior cases have aired on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, WGN-TV and "Talk America" and have taken her to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Frankl has authored a soon-to-be-released complete biography titled LUST FOR JUSTICE about well known radical civil rights attorney and tax resister J. Tony Serra. The book includes Frankl's original courtroom art of Serra during trial. Serra has said of Frankl's artwork, "It captures the true me, the primal-force persona, the aboriginal persona, the precognitive radiance."

Frankl has lived and worked as a photojournalist for magazines in both the U.S. and Europe. Her work includes a cover photo on France's Réalités [1]. Also while overseas, she worked as a staff photographer for Gruner & Jahr's Twen and Eltern magazines.[2] The German GEO Magazine in the 1970s profiled Frankl's lifestyle in California [3].

Paulette Frankl's paintings were included in 2005 in a two-month-long Las Vegas Art Museum exhibit, titled "XV Santa Fe Artists." [4]

Frankl has also worked as a performance artist in the fields of magic and pantomime. [5] Her association with Marcel Marceau as collaborator and muse spanned 30 years.
