Art, creativity and the beautifully unfinished business of being human.

Hello, I’m Freda.

I’m an artist, teacher and curious human living in British Columbia.

I began painting after moving to Canada in 2009, and it became much more than something I did, it became a way to slow down, explore and reconnect with myself. I work mostly in acrylic and am drawn to colour, texture, nature and the freedom of not always knowing where a painting will lead.

Here, I share my art, the books and ideas I’m thinking about, and honest pieces of life along the way. You’ll also find Zealous Art, where I help others explore, play and rediscover their creativity, one brushstroke at a time.
