Frankie is the wife of Andy Hill, owner of Troggs Surf Shop, Portrush and six times Irish National Surfing Champion. The work of the RNLI is very close to Frankie’s heart with son Ethan lifeguarding at local beaches for the last three years, following in the footsteps of both his father and grandfather. The Hill clan have supported the RNLI over several decades. Frankie’s artwork reflects aspects of the North Coast with many of her pieces depicting the iconic, ever changing seascapes of the area.

Portrush and Portstewart RNLI Fundraising Committee are delighted to be able to support Frankie in this highly original fundraising effort.
