She is woman of great intellect, humor, strength, confidence, deprecation, obsession and inspiration. She is capable of great kindness and at the same time she is capable of stubborn combustible fire. I have no idea what she will displaying in her upcoming work. What I do know is that she won't be installing an art installation. She will be installing her soul.

M.M. Frangos is wicked smart. She does everything big. (It was no Fiat that T-Boned her, but a Truck.) She's fearsome with a big heart.

Mekala was a sculpture student of mine; I clearly recall the enthusiastic creative spirit she poured into her work. She pursued business projects in which she was successful in developing, applying her concepts of her art in buildings and interiors of homes. With the passing of time, she still holds the passion and dedication to her art to bring it into a tangible visual experience. As an artist creates a space and form, it becomes compelling to share concepts, images and experiences with friends and artists. It is precisely in this world of compassion to her art that Mekala is admired by her patrons.

M.M. Frangos creates with unflinching passion, wit and intelligence. Though I may be able to leap over her, without a runner start, her size shouldn’t fool anyone. She is big, bold and whether by expression, in conversation or noticing her as she works a room, M.M. is hard to not pay attention to. She has the fire to execute her art, a humble heart and gifted with a confidence to be brave. I always look forward to her presence be it artistically, intellectually or socially.

Last year I woke up on Christmas Day to walk my dog at the nearby park, as I do every morning. As if Santa’s elves unleashed onto the park, all the once bare tree branches were dangling with Milk Bones attached by white ribbons to the trees. It was a sea of once stark tree branches dancing with big Milk Bones. I later learned it was my neighbor, none other than MMF, who stealthy did this the night before. She said she wanted the neighborhood dogs to know they weren’t forgotten by Santa. This is classic Frangos. Her art is to give voice to those who are voiceless.

Mekala brings a unique cocktail of drive, energy, creativity and intellect to any project she gets into, from real estate, to art or yoga. That allows her to move within, think through and see beyond most others.

M. M. Frangos is one of the most creative and passionate people that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. She has the true eye of an artist, but with the added bonus of a highly intellectual mind. This duality of approaches is what makes every encounter with her fascinating - she has the ability think analytically about an issue, but at the same time she is able to understand and capture the emotional sensitivities around it. She uses this duality in her artistry - she can use her intelligence like a marketing executive to draw the viewer into the work, and then has the ability to immerse them in it to allow their senses to see, hear, feel, think about, and connect with it on a totally different level.

Frangos is a compassionate animal lover which is evident in her careful examination in the lived experience of all beings. She is a large creative force in a small package, and bursting with entrepreneurial furor. She is obsessed with creative expression and pays tireless attention to details.

Michelle and I have been friends for years, and there are few people I know who share her combustible elements of vision, tenacity and goodwill. When she puts that into her art, you better have your seat belt on.
