Felicia Fraser
Felicia Fraser is a visual artist living in Vancouver, Canada. She trained as a graphic designer and illustrator, graduating from Capilano University’s IDEA program in 2009. After working as a successful senior designer at an agency for 12 years, while also starting a family, she returned to her original love of painting purely for her own mental health. When the pandemic turned life upside down, she used it as an opportunity to launch herself in a new direction. Fraser’s realistic paintings focus on the power of ordinary objects to tell the stories of who we are, using nostalgia to connect the viewer to childhood joys and memories and to remind people not to lose sight of the kid within themselves.
She says: “By transforming ordinary objects into carefully crafted works of art, the cultural and personal significance of the object becomes the message. Objects help tell the story of who we are and become touchstones of our history and identity.”
