| Frank Harmon Myers was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on Feb. 23, 1899, and eventually moved with his family to Cincinnati in 1907. In 1917 Myers became a pupil of Duveneck and Weis at the Cincinnati Art Academy, followed by training at the PAFA and in France at the School of Fine Arts at Fontainebleau.
He was a faculty member at the Cincinnati Art Academy for 23 years and active in Taos, New Mexico. In the 1930s his health began to falter, and he suffered bouts of depression. In 1940 he took a leave of absence and visited Monterey, California. He was captivated by the California coastal region, and stayed there for the rest of his life. From that point on he produced, almost exclusively, seascapes of the Monterey Peninsula area.
In 1956 he passed away from a heart attack.
