​
Trace's art exhibitions celebrates her drawings and paintings of enchanting animals that share similar qualities of the loving, adventurous nature and playful antics to that of empathic humans. Depicted in her art are her engaging narratives that she is so often inspired by her personal magical experiences with animals in the midwest and southwest countryside as a child. John draws upon a graphic approach of manipulating photos and pictures. He envisions the mundane images he sees in daily life and to change them into a more ethereal, celestial and dream like and surreal visual experience.

Resident Artists &
Musicians of Something Romantical
LADY TRACE FRYER
Artist, Musician, Poet & Director, Founder
Trace has been creating since a young age and was commissioned fine art for private homes and commercial spaces since before being a graduate from Art Center College of Design. Featured in galleries, magazines, LA Zoo and the Natural History Museum of San Diego she depicts the warranted respect of human-animal bonds in relation to the environment. Having studied with poet laureate Maxine Kumin in her academic studies she has a honed sense of poetry and creates the lyrical poetry for her music. She believes animals are sentient, conscious creatures that live in a spiritual state of awareness of being shown through her paintings and music. Her work is ethereal, inspirational and celebrational.
