Frank Corso was born in Syracuse New York. Taking a keen interest in art at a very early age, he was inspired to draw and paint the landscape of the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. He had the opportunity to have very fine Art teachers in high school who also happened to be fine painters (George Benedict and Nick Todisco), and through their influence began to polish his painting style from an early age. After attending Onondaga Community College for architecture and realizing that the rigid structure of Architecture was not for him, he began elective courses in Fine Arts at Syracuse University. At Syracuse he began to study abstract painting and design with professors like Frank Goodnow and others to broaden the horizons of painting. It was here where he also began working with etching and lithograph printmaking. Never losing sight of traditional landscape painting, he then began to focus more on an Art career and began private study in portrait and figure painting with Austrian born portrait painter, Robert Hoffmann. Here he was able to hone in on the discipline of technique and begin to study portrait painting from a professional Artist, learning painting technique impossible to find in traditional schools. . He then began to travel and paint extensively around the country and eventually traveled to Europe, focusing his attention on Italy.
