Tessa Campbell Fraser F.R.S.S. (born 1967) is a British painter and sculptor based in Oxfordshire. Born in Edinburgh, she studied at Chelsea School of Art and afterwards established herself as one of the country’s leading animal artists. She has completed several major life-size, and larger than life, sculptures and paintings for clients including the late Queen Elizabeth II, the King of Bahrain, Knuthenborg Safari Park Denmark, William Grant & Son, the Household Cavalry and Sir Jackie Stewart. She has work in private collections around the world including Australia, South Africa, Monaco, and the USA, and has exhibited widely including at the Royal Academy Summer Shows, Sculpture at Goodwood, the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford and the Natural History Museum in London where she had a major solo show in 2004. In 2001, she was elected an Associate Member of the Royal Society of Sculptors and became a Fellow of the Society in 2004. Campbell Fraser’s work is informed by her interaction with nature and travels, notably Greenland and recently Dominica, inspiring a series of paintings and allegorical sculptures exploring the interspecies relationship between man and animal. Initially she portrayed this in a group of sculptures for her Bishop and Bearseries and laterally, her work has involved the interspecies communication with Whales. She has been concerned with the effects of Climate Change for over twenty years and her sculptures offer a poignant and beautiful reflection on the symbiosis between man and animal, and how precarious this balance is for both as man encroaches more and more into the wild spaces. She is constantly in awe of how much we can learn from the natural world.
