Fragosa’s work is deeply personal incorporating marks and symbols that evoke memories of her childhood. Latent and mysterious, her images range from whimsical to dark but all connect on a gut level. When asked about her work, Fragosa said, “each work begins by exploiting the rare moments where we are all on the human line.” Each piece has a story for her that contains a lesson in morality but she’s reluctant to impose that meaning on another person. She likes to hear other viewer’s interpretations.

Jenny Fragosa has lived on Cape Cod for eight years. Before that she painted, studied, and grew up in Ohio. Her recent works include mono-type, encaustic, mixed media, and “a continual exploration of material  in an effort to capture movement through layering.”
