They alone are witnesses to the flying saucers that dot the landscapes. Tapping into the surreal aspects of collage, her work speaks to our own private and mysterious experiences in nature. Lynda Frese’s artwork has been exhibited across the United States, and in Europe and South America. Her pieces are represented in private and public collections including the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Center for Photography at Woodstock, the Manetti Shrem Museum in Davis, and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, and the Center for Louisiana Studies.
