Graham Fracha, born in Annapolis, MD, in 1974, was raised in Maryland near Washington D.C. His early exposure to art at the Hirshhorn Museum, coupled with his family's travels to museums across the United States, ignited his lifelong passion for art. These formative experiences continue to shape his artistic sensibilities, manifesting consciously and subconsciously in his work.
Fracha pursued his artistic education at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, WA.
Known for his bold and colorful style, Fracha's approach to art emphasizes painterly surfaces, risk-taking, and a clarity of line and form. His paintings reflect a diverse array of interests including landscapes, architecture, flora, music, poetry, and the expressive potential of color and form. Influenced by artists such as Joan Mitchell, Picasso, Richard Diebenkorn, Martin Puryear, Yoshitomo Nara, and inspired by musicians like Stevie Wonder and bands such as The Sea and Cake and The Strokes, Fracha's work blends influences from diverse artistic and cultural spheres.
Fracha's art can be found in private collections as well as in notable public collections such as Swedish Hospital in Seattle, WA, and the city of Kent, WA. He has exhibited widely across the United States and internationally, with shows in Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, New York, England, and France.
Currently residing and working in Lynnwood, WA, Fracha continues to explore and expand his artistic vision, enriching the visual landscape with his vibrant and evocative compositions.
