Swiftly as a Thought- Paintings by Katherine Fraser

For the month of July the gallery features a selection of Katherine Fraser’s ruminative large scale paintings.

My paintings depict moments of quiet reflection and insight, of wonder, vulnerability, yearning, determination, humility, strength and growth. I see a duality in every moment, and beauty in the tension of opposing emotions existing in a single facial expression. As every person, and every experience is multifaceted, every painting is meant to express a dimensional idea. I am fascinated by the mutability of memory, by the way emotions can shape perception and the way we unconsciously create narratives to understand our experience and explain our identities.

I paint out of my sincere desire to respect, express, and share the precious aspects of our commonality. Compassionately and with a generous heart, I seek to portray our continual need to reckon expectations with truth, and the struggles we endure to feel satisfaction with our choices. My goal is not just to make aesthetically beautiful paintings, but to create works that touch and resonate with the complexity of real world experience.
