Hello, I'm Bronwyn Frazier, artist, mask maker, actress, and creator of eyefeather.com. I've been an artist most of my life, but never did much sculpting until I went to Arcadia University (formerly Beaver College). There I learned a lot in a short amount of time. I discovered I wanted to be on stage, and through the wonderful people at the theatre department I learned about masks. One of my movement assignments was to make a mask and "bring it to life" for the class. I made five, some of which you can see in the portfolio section. My movement professor encouraged me to keep making masks and suggested I look into neoprene latex. When I discovered acting and mask making, I changed my major from scientific illustration, to a double major in theatre arts and English and studio arts.

    I did research and read books on mask making. Neoprene latex looked like a great way to go, especially when I found out the masks from my favorite movie, Labyrinth, were made from the stuff. I made about 20 masks for my studio art thesis, and was able to incorporate several of them into the theatre thesis's "Senior Show."

     Since college I've continued to make masks and have some of them used in local community theater productions and films. My masks have been in four different art shows. Recently I've done some mask and commedia demonstrations. I would love to create a mask show some day, because to see a mask "come to life" is still a wonderful experience.
