Antonia Fraser's work is as 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 and seascapes. Antonia studied Art at Greenwich Adult Education College and has painted mainly in Scotland and London, whilst also travelling widely. In the late 1990's she painted in Morocco, which experience heightened her use of colour and strengthened her awareness of pattern. Over the ensuing years she also painted in South Africa and Asia, both further developing her interest in form and bright, bold, brilliant colours. She held her first, very successful solo exhibition in London in 1998 and has been exhibiting her paintings ever since. She also has had regular commissions for other paintings influenced by ongoing travels in France, Italy and Asia. She now lives and paints in Cornwall.
