David Frazer
David Frazer is Professor Emeritus of Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), having served as the Chair of the Painting Department for many years during his tenure from 1978 to 2020. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from RISD in 1970 and his Master of Fine Arts in Painting from the University of New Mexico (UNM) in 1976. Frazer’s paintings are improvisational, with no prior designs or predicted outcomes. Many of his motifs, like the birds and eggs, are not narrative but rather suggest thoughts of vulnerability, birth, love, risk, and loss.
