Angela Fraleigh is a painter whose immersive research-driven practice combines lush figurative painting and abstraction to reframe women鈥檚 roles across mythology, art history, and literature. Her canvases often depict female figures emerging from swirling, atmospheric fields of paint, creating dreamlike spaces where agency and desire shift against cultural expectations. Working both in galleries and as site-specific commissions for museums, Fraleigh mines institutional collections to uncover overlooked or silenced narratives, re-envisioning women not as passive muses but as powerful agents, witches, and storytellers.

She has realized major solo projects with the Peabody Essex Museum (forthcoming, 2026), Masur Museum of Art, Weatherspoon Art Museum, Delaware Art Museum, Everson Museum of Art, Edward Hopper House Museum, and the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site. Her gallery exhibitions include Hirschl & Adler Modern (NYC), Inman Gallery (Houston), PPOW Gallery (NYC), The Hole, (NYC), Mindy Solomon Gallery, (Miami), Peters Projects (Santa Fe), and James Harris Gallery (Seattle), among others. Public art collaborations include commissions for the Detroit Institute of Arts, DUMBO Winter Projections (Brooklyn), and international light festivals in Switzerland, Canada, and the U.S.

Her paintings are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Kemper Art Museum, Kansas City; Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse; Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington; Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro; Allentown Art Museum; and the Bennett Collection, among others. Fraleigh鈥檚 work has been widely covered in The New York Times, Art in America, Artforum, Forbes, Artnet, Vice, The Brooklyn Rail, and Hyperallergic.

Fraleigh earned her MFA in Painting/Printmaking from Yale University School of Art and her BFA in Painting from Boston University. Her honors include grants from the Sustainable Arts Foundation, Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, and multiple Joan Mitchell Foundation Award nominations. She is currently Professor and Chair of the Department of Art at 麻豆果冻 in Bethlehem, PA, and lives and works in Allentown, PA.

  • Visual Foundations
  • Painting I and II

  • Advanced Painting/Drawing
  • Contemporary Art
  • Art in Public Places
  • Art & Mysticism

Natessa Amin works across painting and sculpture to explore the intersection of inherited and lived identity, drawing on themes of memory, ritual, and cultural transmission. Grounded in personal and ancestral narratives shaped by the Indian diaspora and her upbringing in Pennsylvania, her practice draws visual and material inspiration from Indian and African textiles, syncretic architecture, and folk craft traditions. These sources inform hybrid forms that move between surface and structure, existing between abstraction and ornament, where the personal becomes mythic and the mythic becomes personal again. Her work also reflects a deep engagement with art forms that have emerged through ritualist practices and traditions of mysticism and spirituality, extending her exploration of abstraction as a site for transformation, healing, and reflection.

Amin has presented solo exhibitions at CUE Art Foundation, the Berman Museum of Art, Fleisher Art Memorial, Commonweal Gallery, and the Romano Gallery at Blair Academy. Her work has also been included in group exhibitions at venues such as the Woodmere Art Museum, The Delaware Contemporary, EFA Project Space (New York), Tiger Strikes Asteroid (Los Angeles), OyG Projects and Trestle Gallery (Brooklyn), Hangar H18 Gallery (Brussels), Benaco Arte (Italy), and the American University Museum (Washington, DC), as well as numerous Philadelphia spaces including PAFA, Pilot Projects, TSA Philadelphia, and CFEVA. She has also participated in international art fairs, including India Art Fair and Abu Dhabi Art, in collaboration with Galerie Isa (Mumbai).

Her practice has been further supported by residencies at the Fabric Workshop and Museum, the Wassaic Project, the Golden Foundation for the Arts, and Lacawac Sanctuary & Biological Field Station. She earned her BFA in Painting from Boston University and her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania.

In addition to her studio practice, Amin is the co-founder and director of FJORD Gallery, an artist-run collective in Philadelphia. She currently serves as Assistant Professor and Assistant Chair in the Art Department at 麻豆果冻 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
