Antonia Fraser studied Art at Greenwich Adult Education College. She has painted in Scotland, Ireland and Cornwall, and abroad in Italy, Morocco and South Africa. Fraser is a colourist in the Scottish tradition with the added use of free expressive brushwork to augment the effect of colour. Recurring themes are still life and figurative paintings, landscapes, seascapes, and the natural world. A painting trip to Morocco in 1997 with Ken Howard (RA, Pres. NEAC) refined her use of colour and strengthened her awareness of pattern. A journey to South Africa in 1998 developed her interest in form, light, and bright, bold, brilliant colours. Her paintings have sold in many exhibitions over the years and are owned by many art collectors in the UK and abroad.
