Douglas Fryer was born in Salt Lake City , Utah, and was raised in Illinois and California. In 1988 he received a BFA in Illustration from Brigham Young University in Provo Utah, and later returned to BYU for further study toward an MFA in Painting and Drawing, completing the degree in 1995.

Douglas has taught fine art and illustration at several universities and art schools, including BYU, The University of Hartford in Hartford Connecticut, and at The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.

Although he works mainly in oil, Douglas enjoys working in a variety of mediums including watercolor, printmaking, and digital. His love of landscape stems from having lived in many beautiful areas of the country, including seven years in rural Vermont, and most recently central Utah.

His personal works are moving images of places, objects and people that have simple, yet profound significance to him. He hopes that those who view his paintings will sense his love for his subjects and his pleasure in working with his materials.

Interpretations & Suggestions

Fryer’s latest body of work will continue his tendency toward abstraction as he emphasizes marks, layers, edges and forms over discernible subject matter, in an attempt to recreate his continually shifting observations of the landscape.

Stone Home, Spring City (Winter) oil 10x20

Scottish Rain oil 12x24

Raincloud Over Chamisa oil 16x16

Castleton Peak District oil 8x8

“Paradoxically, the more I abstract an image the more real it seems to me, or the more it represents or interprets how my eye and mind actually see the world.�
