Biography

Born in Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1916, and raised in Caldwell, New Jersey, traditional artist Frank W. Handlen depicts ships, the sea and the Maine landscape in oil and pastels. In 1938, his mentor, marine artist Frederick Judd Waugh, encouraged him to go to Maine, "where it will all be before you". Handlen settled first in Biddeford Pool and later in Kennebunkport. As a young man, he worked in Bernie Warner's shipyard on the Kennebunk River and eventually designed and built his own forty-foot, sixteen ton topsail schooner, "The Saltwind", which is moored in the Kennebunk River behind his house, very near the site of the old shipyard. In the 1994, he was commissioned to create the heroic bronze statue, "Our Forbears of the Coast", that stands on the Kennebunkport River Green.Handlen was a Fellow of The American Society of Marine Artists, for 22 years. He illustrated "Seapiece The Story of a Maine Boy" by Will Beale and "The Story of Maine for Young Readers" by Melville Freeman and Estelle Hale Perry. His pastels, oil paintings and pen and ink drawings are extensively owned by private and corporate collectors including, The Kennebunkport Historical Society [http://www.kporthistory.org] , The Brick Store Museum, MBNA, Sears Robuck and The St. Botoph Club in Boston, to name a few.
