BIOGRAPHY

My name is Zyon Frauen, and I am a multimedia artist who currently lives in Durango, Colorado. While I enjoy many mediums of art, including ceramics, sculpture, and graphic design, I specialize in illustration and painting. I am most influenced by a cartoony style with elements of spirituality and philosophy that culminate in bright colors depicting abstract landscapes and characters. Prior to acquiring my Bachelor’s degree in studio art from Fort Lewis, my art training was limited to an art class in middle school and doodling throughout my youth. Although I have not allowed my limited structured training to hinder my ability to be the best artist I can be. 

During the years between high school and college, I presented many of my works in local shops around Boulder, CO. Since moving to Durango and attending Fort Lewis, I have presented work in two juried shows and contributed to student-led shows such as the Fort Lewis PIVOT exhibit. I have also organized and executed Three of my own personal shows that were displayed in the exit gallery on the Fort Lewis campus, Telluride Bud Company. Along with being part of these opportunities, I continue to sell works in local retail shops in Durango. Along with my Shows at Fort Lewis and shops in town, I have completed several murals in Durango. As of right now, I am working on my clothing, several upcoming shows, and murals around Colorado.
