MEET OUR 2025 JUROR
Ghislaine (Ghi) Fremaux holds her MFA from the Pennsylvania State University, conferred in 2012. Her undergraduate studies began at Bard College at Simon’s Rock in 2003 and culminated in a BFA from Tufts University with SMFA, Boston, in 2007. Her large pastel drawings investigate desire, consent, the bounds of the interior and exterior bodies, and meanings and experiences of nudity within clothed society. In the service of these interests, she has undertaken collaborative projects with professionals in medicine and social science, examining endoscopic imagery and the practice of nudism among senior citizens, respectively. She has exhibited nationally and abroad, with recent shows juried and/or curated by Jessica Todd Smith, Leslie Moody Castro, Juana Williams, Katie Pfohl, Omar Lopez-Chahoud, and Carter E. Foster. Fremaux often works in partnership with artist, Lando Valdez. Their work together concerns the sensuality of grief, the visual culture of medicine, the experience of surgical intervention, and love. They live and work in Lubbock, TX.
