Her association with several
nonprofit organizations further demonstrates her devotion to the role of relationships in
daily life.
She is a person whose compassion for others is undaunting and whose commitment to living
her life to its fullest is surpassed only by her will to share her knowledge and talent
with the world. The relationships of her life play an important role in the development of
her planning and execution of works of art intended for all to share.A native New Yorker, Froman received her formal training at the National
Academy of Fine Arts, the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Fountainebleu School of
Fine Art in France, where she studied architecture with the incomparable Le Corbusier and
painting with Henri Goetz.
She took her first course in sculpture at the New School for Social Research, and with just
six months of sculpting experience, showed at a local exhibit
where she sold every piece. Twenty years later, Froman's work can be seen all over
America, from Radcliffe College to Brooklyn College, Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas to
private homes in Dutchess County, Time-Warner to the CIA (the Culinary Institute of
America in Hyde Park, that is, where Froman designed a sculpture for the American Bounty
restaurant.)
Her work strikes an interesting counterpoint to that of her
ex-teacher, Le Corbusier, the renowned architect, urbanist and painter. Le Corbusier,
generally thought to be one of the three most important figures in contemporary
architecture along with Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe, had a profound impact on
20th century design with his quest for what he called a "new mechanical
society."
There is a crucial philosophic difference between Froman and
Le Corbusier, is that Froman intends her work to be suitable for both the gallery and the home, and
to instruct as well as please. She believes that everyone shares the same human needs for
love, warmth, and meaningful interaction with others.
Froman frequently uses her work to help the community at
large. Through benefits, she has helped build a kitchen at a Miami synagogue, raised money
for sisterhoods and her acrylic, "New Generation," (the one that shows the
baby in the womb) was selected by the March of Dimes as a national fund raiser.
