New Exhibition Opening at Hunterdon Art Museum
Terri
Fraser, like many artists, strives to find the essence, the soul, “the magic,”
that allows for truth to unimpededly flow and channel into the work. According
to Fraser, there are times when the elements of truth are clear and shared
through the painting or sculpture, while in other instances, because
remembrances are not always lucid, that expanding truth results in a more
abstract work of art with an elusive tangibility.

"I have been
transitioning from the way I used to approach my work. After being
in isolation from the Coronavirus, I decided it was time to jump. I
am both excited and anxious over the new works. I am an artist who paints
in oil and plays with 3-dimension. Both rely on my feelings towards
reminiscences, nature, and the mundane.
When I paint, a grid
is my starting point; a grounding element. The grid might
be floating on the paper, but still feels like a structure for me.
From there, I play with foreground, background, and the elements of the
obscure. I have learned to quiet some of the noise I have in my head and
allow the intuitive flow to create. This is one of my biggest
challenges. The flow usually starts with the to-do list, which I
consider to be my grid." —Terri Fraser
