Frieda Dean's background in the arts started with painting, including watercolor. While the trajectory of her art career took her to all forms of visual and performance media, she continued to return to works on paper. In 2000 Dean was invited to join Krishna Reddy's Color Print Atelier at New York University, where she produced a body of color viscosity prints whose imagery is based on organic or blown-ink forms. During this period her work began to show the influence of her study of American Abstract Expressionist paintings and prints. In this untitled piece, the influence of watercolor merges with the matrix to produce a soft, jubilant image.
