I have a passion to bring atmosphere and drama to my work, working predominantly in Oils and Acrylics. Working from photographs, sketches and imagination I look for the “extreme” moments in nature. Steering away from a natural palette, often introducing bolder tones to achieve a unique signature look in each piece.
I sign my work under my childhood nickname Fraz, you can learn why by visiting my website www.frazart.co.uk >>
