Fred, born in Gary Indiana, graduated from The American Academy of Art in Chicago and moved to Minneapolis to start his 40 year career as an Advertising Illustrator. In 2000 he began his career in fine art. He was a full-time painter of over 65 years, creating art in watercolor, oil, acrylic, pencil and pen and ink. He was also an art teacher, which allowed him to share his passion with others and make wonderful friends. Spending time with family and friends was his greatest pleasure along with his art.

"For me, being an artist is not merely a chosen profession. It is a way of capturing and transcribing the beauty I see in life so that others may also enjoy it."
