Reidunn Fraas Stormy
Reidunn Fraas, a Norwegian designer and painter, and Harriet Livathinos, a Texan painter and businesswoman, both by way of New York City, moved to Woodstock in 1999, and found it a most conducive home for making art. Though they have been working on their art concurrently, this marks the first time they have had a joint exhibition.
After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York City, Fraas became affiliated with the National Association of Women Artists and WAAM, Woodstock, NY. Her work has been seen in both group and solo exhibitions nationally, and can be found in private collections in Norway, Texas, Massachusetts, and New York.
Fraas’ work usually involves the development of large, abstract forms, woven into tightly knit compositions with radiant color harmonies. Her work in this exhibition is done with acrylic and ink on canvas, board, or paper.
