Edith Frohock

Edith Frohock was an American artist who lived and worked in Birmingham, Alabama. Frohock specialized in painting, printmaking and book arts and was the first instructor to teach book arts in the South. As a professor, Frohock left a mark on many of her students including Anne Arrasmith and Mary Ann Sampson.

Frohock was part of the Mississippi Art Colony where she was the featured instructor in 1984. The colony, established in 1948 is one of the oldest continuing artists colonies in the United Stated.
