LYNDA  FRESE

Lynda Frese’s artwork involves photography, painting, and printmaking. She is professor emeritus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where she taught design and photography. Her work has been exhibited across the United States, and in Europe and South America. Her pieces are represented in significant private and public museum collections including the Houston Museum of Fine Art; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Ogden Museum of Southern Art; the Center for Photography at Woodstock, New York; the Manetti Shrem in Davis, California; the High Museum of Art in Atlanta; and the Hilliard Art Museum in Lafayette, Louisiana.

The 2018 exhibition "Lynda Frese: Holy Memories & Earthly Delights" at the Hilliard Art Museum surveyed 40 years of the artist’s work from early toned gelatin silver prints produced in California, to recent photo-collage and egg tempera works; UL Press published a 64 pg.catalog. The documentary film "Intention", which premiered at the 2020 New Orleans French Film Festival, featured the artist’s studio practice.  From April 12- June 28 this year, the Acadiana Center for the Arts in Lafayette presented her solo exhibition Lynda Frese : Far-Out.  The multi-year project features images of sentient forests and presents UFOs as potent objects for reflection.
