Chantel Fraser uses adornment as an aesthetic and conceptual tool for material exploration and production. Her work explores the creation of cross cultural connotations and representations through silhouette and the embodiment of adornment, and more significantly cultural adornment. Fraser's practice explores ornamentation as an aesthetic resolution to identity and individulaity. Fraser is a Brisbane based multi-media artist with a BFA (Honours) from Queensland University of Technology. Fraser has exhibited nationally and internationally at various institutions and galleries. In 2012 Fraser completed a residency at the University of La Verne, California with Los Angeles artist and academic Chuck Feesago.

Recently Fraser held solo exhibitions at Artereal Gallery in Sydney and Spiro Grace Art Rooms in Brisbane. Fraser in currently represented by Spiro Grace Art Rooms, Brisbane.
