Texas native Frank Stack has lived and worked in Columbia, Missouri for the past thirty years. During that time he has had a distinguished career as a Professor of Art at the University of Missouri while continuing to work as a painter and printmaker.

Stack was educated at the University of Texas (B.F.A.), University of Wyoming (M.A.) and received additional training at the School of Art Institute of Chicago and Academie Grande Chaumiere of Paris. He has shown his works nationally and internationally, exhibiting in the United States, France, Turkey and Korea. Known for his exquisite watercolors, often executed plein air, his recent landscape oils experiment with the effects of color and light in the natural world, often with stunning results.

Frank Stack initially gained fame in the 1960s as a comic book artist under the pseudonym "Foolbert Sturgeon." In 1962, he produced what is generally credited as the first underground comic book, The Adventures of Jesus. Published work includes The New Adventures of Jesus, Dr. Feelgood, Dorman's Doggie, Etchings and Lithographs by Frank Stack, Naked Glory and Our Cancer Year written by Joyce Brabner and Harvey Pekar.
