really cared and showed a real passion in anticipation of the final outcome. You went beyond what I would had imagined. To you, acceptable was not good enough. To future clients… even an anal retentive, detail orientated client like me, can be made happy when the work is done by a master!

Frank had done a couple of murals for me. Both of them equally beautiful, life-like, and most of all they seem to transport one’s imagination to the place depicted in the scenery. I absolutely love them.
Prior to this, I have seen Frank’s work all over the county, mostly in commercial establishments and have long admired them. Now, I don’t have to go very far, I have them in my own home!
I get the most compliments from friends and family for the unbelievable transformation Frank did to my kitchen cabinets. Amazing! Who would’ve ever thought this room got its champagne wishes on a beer budget?
To Frank, thanks for the wonderful job and most especially, thanks for sharing your talent to the rest of the world!

Excerpt from SARAH LANGBEIN of The Orlando Sentinel on September 5, 2006
"ORLANDO, FLA. - The residents at Eastbrooke Gardens in Casselberry, Fla., may never be able to leave the confines of their assisted-living center, which cares for patients with memory loss. But worry not, they have their own oasis inside -- a global adventure painted on the walls... There's a French cafe, with vibrant shuttered windows, blooming flowers, the Eiffel Tower and people roaming the streets. Down the hall, residents can watch the ocean unfold while seagulls fly through the skies and palms flap in the breeze. Or they can bask in a sunlit Cuban plaza, lined with stone steps, flower boxes and laundry hanging from a clothesline... Muralist Frank Rao brought the walls to life as a way to spark memories in the adults who suffer from Alzheimer's disease and dementia, and give them an escape from the four walls they're limited to..."They'll just stand there and get lost in the paintings," says Elaine Torres, the center's executive director...He even painted over electrical boxes and doors to blend them into the murals...Once-dreary grayish-blue walls and archways have been painted vibrant colors to accompany Rao's murals... Wooden benches line the hallways so residents can sit and admire the artist's creations, even if for just the split-second they may remember them. "It brought me joy to see people here stop and look," Rao says. "
