S02 EP 11 - Interview with Heather Fraser

Toronto-based artist Heather Fraser grew up in North Gower, a small town in the Ottawa Valley. After completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Toronto, worked in the financial industry. During that time, she also completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at OCAD University, which included a year sabbatical studying art in Florence, Italy.  She graduated with distinction in 2013 with a degree in Drawing and Painting. Heather now paints full time, while also juggling two young daughters. Although Heather's subject of choice has historically been the figure, her recent body of work focuses on food. Her paintings explore our sensual experience of food, including pomegranates, oranges, lemons, and tomatoes, as well as burgers, ice cream, pancakes, and many, many donuts.
