Nichole Frocheur, BFA 1999
Nichole Frocheur received her MFA from the University of Arizona in 2001. Using a combination of nineteenth century photographic processes and mixed-media installation to delve into the past, she looks to her own personal and familial history as a source of inspiration. She investigates the omnipresent dysfunctional-family as it exists in her bi-racial upbringing, including the differences that exist between cultures, and the discrepancies between language and expressing thought. During her graduate studies, she worked at the Center for Creative Photography as a research assistant, taught beginning photography at the University of Arizona School of Art, organized a traveling exhibition of work from graduate students from various programs around the country, and received a fellowship to the National Graduate Seminar American Photography Institute. At present, she is living in Astoria, NY, and working in Hans P. Kraus, Jr., Inc., a gallery dealing in nineteenth century photographs.
