Helen Frankenthaler was born on December 12, 1928. She was born and raised in Manhattan, New York. Frankenthaler expressed herself through an abstract style of painting. She was a part of the "lyrical abstract" period. A technique she used was the color-stain technique, which involved applying thin washes of paint to an unprimed canvas. A small part of Frankenthaler's art included ceramics, and she made various sculptures. Helen once said, "I'd rather risk an ugly surprise than rely on things I know I can do". This is inspirational because it encourages us to choose to take new risks over do things we already know we can do.
