He combines his knowledge of form and composition with his skill in paint, ink, fabric, wire and tape to create works of art that are intriguing to the trained eye. Fraser's recent solo exhibit- Reverse Transcriptase- at the Hyde Park Art Center (Loope Gallery, Chicago). The exhibit caused a stir in the Chicago scene. The exhibit included his largest drawings to date. The title refers to an enzyme, most commonly used by retroviruses such as HIV.

Max Liboiron	Installations	Max Liboiron grew up on a self-sustaining farm in northern Canada in a mixed-race white and Native American family. Her understanding of sustainable personal and environmental relationships was formed within this context and has been influential in both her early studies in biology and her more topical inquiries in art. Now living in New York, she brings the ideas, skills, and points of view she developed in the north to her art and to local instances of “nature.” Max Liboiron holds an MFA and a certificate in cultural studies from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and BFA with Distinction from Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada. She is currently an adjunct professor in computer art and animation at Suffolk Community College.
