She uses a surrealist painting style, influenced by the local birds of the area, to explore questions  of her own identity, skills, and palette. Her paintings frequently combine realism and abstract with strong individual and centralist themes. Fraser has been called a surrealist or 'abstract realist', in addition to being a member of the psudo-modernist realism movement whilst still continuing to use techniques developed by artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci. "If there’s one thing that goes hand in hand with painting…it’s dancing. I am an artist, a painter, an oil painter to be specific. I love to explore colour, line and layering push the boundaries with how they sit together, the way line can work to create a three dimensional two dimensional image. I often use my deep love of the natural world to be the vehicle for my work. I live locally in the Waitakere ranges drawing inspiration from the world around me. I have used painting to hold me in space for most of my adult life, living with depression has been a journey of it’s own, and painting holds me while my mind runs rampant. My practice is growing as I am growing with new experiences that take me out of my studio and face to face with other artists, art communities and the wider community as a whole." -Bree Fraser, Upstairs Gallery exhibition 2023
