[edit] Biography

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 J. Tony Serra, a well known radical civil rights attorney and tax resister.[1] 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 worked as a photojournalist for international magazines and has lived in both the U.S. and Europe. Her work includes a cover photo on France's Réalités [2]. Also while overseas, she worked as a staff photographer for Gruner & Jahr's Twen and Eltern magazines.[3] The German GEO Magazine in the 1970s profiled Frankl's lifestyle in California [4]. Her photos are also featured inside and on the cover of The Lost Dogs of Shoretown: A Koko the Canine Detective Mystery by Annie Mack about the coastal village of Bolinas, where Frankl lived for nine years and from where she commuted to San Francisco courthouses as a courtroom artist.

Paulette Frankl's paintings were included in 2005 in a two-month-long Las Vegas Art Museum exhibit, titled "XV Santa Fe Artists." [5]

Frankl has also worked as a performance artist in the fields of magic and pantomime. [6] Her association with Marcel Marceau as collaborator and muse spanned 30 years.

She is the daughter of art deco furniture designer Paul T. Frankl, granddaughter of a land speculator in Vienna, Austria, and the mother of Nicholas Koenig, a creative director for theme parks and interactve game design.
