About Ingrid A Fraser, Scottish Visual Artist

Prize winner in the inaugural Jolomo Awards, 2007, Ingrid is a young visual artist living and working on the Moray coast. Her work focuses on people and the landscapes they inhabit; transience and permanence; traces; and the marks we leave behind us, deliberate or unnoticed. Through the use of oils and in mixed media drawings she investigates the beauty and history of a place, creating semi-abstract landscapes. She is continually enraptured by the changeable nature of the Scottish landscape.

Born in Argyll, Ingrid grew up near Montrose before attending Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, obtaining a BA Hons in Fine Art in 2006. She has since exhibited across the North East, in Argyll, Edinburgh and London. Her work is included in the public collections of Angus Council and Aberdeenshire Heritage.

Ingrid A Fraser
"My work of slightly obscure landscapes represents the footprints of the people, both ancient and modern, who have lived in Scotland. I feel our struggles with identity and belonging are bound up in our relationship with the landscapes we inhabit."
