Frank Sardisco was born Sept. 22, 1930, in Rochester, N.Y., the youngest of six children of Sicilian immigrant parents. The family lost its home during the Depression, and the Sardiscos moved to the Los Angeles area in 1943.

Frank Sardisco won several awards for his art in grammar school. He graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy. After serving in the Army, he used his G.I. Bill to attend the Art Center College of Design and then went to Otis Art Institute, where he received a full scholarship and an MFA.

He taught at Woodbury University, Ventura College and then served at Moorpark College from 1968 until his retirement.

After Sardisco died in 2006, his widow, Joy, donated some of his work to the Conejo Valley Art Museum.
