Western Expansion Gallery Opening

MARGARET FRAZIER, WESTERN EXPANSION

Opening February 3, 2019 2-4pm

From the Artist: MARGARET FRAZIER,

A few years back, I decided to take a summer art class here at Presser Arts Center. I really enjoyed the class; so much so that I signed up for private lessons the following fall. These lessons lasted for years. I thank Vickie Barker for all she taught me. Some of the acrylic paintings in this show are from my time in those lessons. Painting and creating are therapy for me; I can relax and lose myself.

My Inspiration:

Nature’s gifts inspire many of my paintings. I love aspen and pine trees, sagebrush, wildflowers, mountains, red deserts, and the Pacific Ocean. The sound of quaking aspen leaves filling the air and pine needles whistling as the wind blows through them. The smells of the pine and sage as I breathe deep trying to catch my breath in the high altitude are all calming and peaceful.

My Background:

I grew up traveling by car to California and Oregon, so I have been fortunate to see the West up close. Some of my favorite experiences in the West are Trout fishing with my husband, Jeff, in Colorado and with my dad and sister in Wyoming. No matter if I’m hiking, skiing or driving over a pass, the mountaintops are glorious. I always feel as though I am in God’s sanctuary.

With my compass pointing west, please enjoy.
