Rose Freymuth-Frazier was born and raised in Nevada City, California. She attended Interlochen Arts Academy. Upon graduation she was awarded a scholarship to study theatre at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. She studied also for 2 years at the Art Students League in New York. After taking a master class at the New York Academy of Art with Steven Assael, she continued her studies in a tradition common to painters of the past, through full-time apprenticeship. Her first apprenticeship was for two years under Assael in his New York City studio and her second was with Odd Nerdrum in Norway, at his farm and studio on the North Sea.

References from a broad swath of art history can be found in Freymuth-Frazier’s solitary subjects. Influences range from Balthus’s discomforting depictions of preadolescence, and the queen of Kitsch, Margaret Keane’s “Big Eyed” children and animals, to the heavy chiaroscuro and technical rigor of Caravaggio and Rembrandt. This unique combination of classicism and pulp results in something of a hybrid between Lowbrow esthetic and Old Master technique.

Cultural references spanning 2000 years can be found in Freymuth-Frazier’s work. Inspiration is drawn from the intimacy of friends and family to the detachment of Eastern European p**n sites, stock photography and advertisements. Using a complex language of symbolism like that found in medieval religious icons or the Unicorn Tapestries, the paintings address universal themes such as child development, s*xuality, loss of innocence, consumerism, domestication, gender roles, androgyny and body image in American society today.

Freymuth-Frazier's works are exhibited internationally in galleries and can be found in private collections around the world.

She lives and paints in New York City.

Gerda Wegener 1886 – 1940 Danish

Oil on canvas
Gerda Wegener (March 15, 1886 in Hammelev – July 28, 1940 in Frederiksberg) was a Danish illustrator and painter of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
Gerda Marie Frederikke Gottlieb[1] grew up as the daughter of a country clergyman of Huguenot origin in North Schleswig, which at that time belonged politically to the German Reich. She went to Copenhagen to study at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. There she met the artist Lili Elbe, then known as Einar Wegener, whom she married in 1904. In order to expand her sphere of activity and to live out her bis*xual orientation more freely, she moved to Paris with Lili Elbe in 1912, where she worked as a painter and illustrator for magazines such as Vogue, La Vie Parisienne, Fantasio, Le Rire, La Baïonnette and many others . Her success allowed her to exhibit regularly in Copenhagen at Galerie Ole Haslund. Her career was based on talent and diligence, but not least on the attention that her unusual marriage caused.

Lili Elbe, who was initially thought to be the larger of the two artists, put her own work on hold to support her efforts. She posed for Gerda Wegener in women's clothing, called herself Lili Elbe from then on and became Gerda's favorite model. In 1930, Lili underwent a s*x reassignment operation, which, as one of the first of its kind, caused a sensation and made Lili Elbe famous. Gerda Wegener supported her inters*xual partner to the best of her ability during the transition period. In 1930 their marriage was annulled by the Danish king.
In 1931, Gerda Wegener married Major Fernando Porta, an Italian officer, pilot and diplomat who was eleven years her junior, with whom she moved to Marrakesh and then to Casablanca. There in Morocco she learned that Lili Elbe had died in the Dresden women's clinic after a uterus transplant by Kurt Warnekros. In 1936 Gerda Wegener divorced Fernando Porta and returned to Copenhagen. In 1939 she had her last exhibition, but her style had gone out of fashion. She died of a heart attack a few months after Denmark was occupied by the Wehrmacht of the German Reich.
The Second World War abruptly ended the luxury era of Art Deco. It was only social trends such as s*xual liberation, feminism and gender debates that stimulated interest, especially in Gerda Wegener's erotic works. Today her works, such as those by George Barbier and Erté, fetch high prices at auction.

Pause for Reflection
Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture,
9 × 13¼ × 7½ in

Laurel states:

My art has always represented my vision and spirit. And if my current bronze sculpture series is any indication, that spirit is a tad whimsical.

Life is often way too serious. I want my sculptures to lift the viewer and take them to a better place for a timeless moment. As an artist, nothing makes me happier than seeing someone smile and laugh with my work.

I am a classically trained sculptor. As a former repeat Director of the board for the La Scuola Classical Sculpture School, I keep one eye on the masters and the other on the present.

My bronze sculptures draw on my love of figurative expression and the freedom of impressionistic interpretation. Not to mention my love of animals. All of my work builds on my ability to observe and capture motion in clean lines.My Creative Process
My process typically begins with careful scrutiny of the anatomy and movement of my intended subject.

Dozens of digital images and sketches later, the subtle positions, relationships, and attitudes of my animal characters capture the feeling and story I seek to convey in the piece.

After I sculpt an animal in wax or oil-based clay, traditional lost-wax casting processes immortalize the design in bronze. One aspect of particular interest to me, and one for which I plan early in the sculpting phase, is the complex and rich patinas that constitute another hallmark of my limited-edition sculptures. Multiple layers of chemicals and oxides are applied to the heated bronze to achieve a range of unique effects, both translucent and opaque, that complement each design.

More About Me
My range of expression is enabled by a comprehensive skill set gained from extensive life experience. After earning a degree in Industrial Arts from Humboldt State University in Northern California, I came to my art in a roundabout way: mechanic, Master Electrician, building official, animal sculpture artist. From design to production, there is little that I can’t do to realize my visions.

When I’m not in the studio, I can usually be found in the 10 large gardens with which I’ve surrounded my home and converted barn in the foothills of the Front Range south of Denver.

My bronze animal sculptures have received multiple awards and are represented by galleries across the United States. I have fulfilled numerous private, corporate, and public commissions.

Her works have won multi- awards and can be found in the collections of the British Museum and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

According to her website, these ceramic sculptures take more than one month to create the mold, three weeks to attach the foliage and up to five weeks to let it dry.

A pair of eyes & brows a illustrated around 3 years ago 👀 Safe to say I’ve improved on eyes a lot since then thank God!
I used to rush my art due to the pressure of having to post because of how the algorithms work but I don’t do that anymore!

Mind Games (2021) by Australian artist, Margaret Ackland, born in 1954.

Watercolour on paper, 42 x 35 cm, 17 x 14 in approx

Whether through landscape, portraiture or small still lifes, Sydney artist Margaret Ackland has been keenly observing and recording traces of human experience for more than 35 years. Drawing on her own observations of the world, sourced from newspaper clippings, online media and the comings and goings of her own daily life, Ackland’s images quietly shine light on ephemeral, personal moments. What emerges from her delicate, often humorous and always sensitive small scale paintings encompasses a whole, worldly and fully relatable experience.
