Henry Fraser dived into the sea in Portugal hitting his head on the undulating sea-bed dislocating his fourth vertebrae, leaving him unable to move anything from his neck down. He then spent six months in hospital in England learning how to breathe again and getting as strong and as healthy as possible.
When his health improved, he taught himself how to draw and then paint by attaching the utensils to a mouth stick, opening a thoroughly enjoyable new chapter in his life, rediscovering his love for drawing, painting and creating; in his words, ‘adversity gave me a gift’.
The Henry Fraser Collection
The Henry Fraser Collection consists of 12 extraordinary paintings painted by Henry with brushes held in his mouth and using his favourite Winsor & Newton gouache paints. Each painting has been meticulously prepared for printing and now available as an exclusive series of 25 Artist Proofs re-touched and signed by Henry, a pre-issue collectible as part of an exclusive NFT Collection available in 2023 on completion of the 12 paintings, and an open run of the highest quality A2, A3 and A5 prints.
Once the Artist Proofs have been sold, the original painting will be hung in an exciting and relevant location, the details of each will be profiled on Henry's social media channels and our Henry Fraser Collection emails, available on the subscription page.
