Last Light is Pete’s interpretation in acrylic of a dramatic evening sky over the ocean as seen from Brookings. Though painted on three separate canvas panels, the image appears to be continuous, an illusion that is reinforced by the piece’s painted, gallery-wrap edges.
The piece was included in an international art show in Grand Rapids, Michigan and was purchased by an Illinios collector.

Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps is Broadway’s longest running comedy with over 1100 performances. In his fast-paced whodunit packed with nonstop laughs a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon a mysterious organization called The 39 Steps is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death defying finale! A handful of actors play 100 zany characters in this 2-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat that will provide an evening of pure pleasure.
Frank Weins, piano Sunday, October 23, 2010, 3:00 pm - Calvary Assembly of God Church
Frank Wiens has concertized extensively throughout the United States and abroad, including highly praised recitals in New York and London. He has twice toured South Korea, and gave his recital debut on the European continent in Vienna in 1987. He was invited to tour the Soviet Union in 1991 as a featured soloist in concerts celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Serge Prokofiev.
With an extensive concerto repertoire of thirty-five works, he has been a soloist with such orchestras as the Atlanta, Denver and Detroit Symphonies. A winner of major awards in prestigious competitions - North American Young Artists Competition, Southwest Pianists Foundation Competition, Three Rivers Piano Competition - he has given annual concert tours across the U.S. since 1974. His performances have been broadcast on National Public Radio and Public Television, and he has been a touring artist with the Iowa Arts Council and the California Arts Council. His compact disc recording "Rachmaninov," which includes that composer's Third Piano Concerto with the Slovakia National Orchestra, has been described by one reviewer as "dazzling, yet rich in solid detail...brilliant clarity and absolute conviction...truly suave and elegant playing."
A native of New Haven, Connecticut, Frank Wiens studied at the University of Michigan School of Music, where he was the recipient of the Stanley Medal, that school's highest honor for musical excellence. He has been a student of Benning Dexter, Gyorgy Sandor, Harald Logan, and John Perry and a participant in master classes with Lili Kraus and Leon Fleisher.
He served on the piano faculty at Drake University and, since 1976, has held the position of Professor of Piano at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. In 1997 he was honored with that university's Distinguished Faculty Award, and in 2000 with its Faculty Research-Lecturer Award.
In addition to his active concert schedule, Frank Wiens has gained renown for his master classes and lectures. He has adjudicated numerous piano competitions, and has served as a member of the international jury of the prestigious Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition.
