Frank Vodvarka is Professor Emeritus at Loyola University Chicago, where as a professor of fine arts, he taught design, color theory, photography, and history of architecture. His goal as an artist, whether in the studio or as a set designer, is to provide an organized and provoking stimulus for an audience response. Vodvarka believes all art is provocative and participatory and that it is the artist’s job to shape and enhance the emotional, sensory, and intellectual dimensions of that response. His exhibition record includes shows of drawings, prints, photographs, paintings, and constructions in Australia, Belgium, Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and the United States.
