Artist statement: Many of my paintings feature water and light, the sea coast, lakes or rivers, often of boats. I grew up in New England, lived 27 years in France, traveled extensively in Europe and draw on these experiences in my art as well as the French Impressionist painters whose many paintings I have been fortunate to view.

Artist statement: Fredian Slips are whimsical sometimes Afro-Caribbean, sometimes ancient artifactian, sometimes somewhat Santerian, sculptural objects, masks, and necklaces with pendants. Oh, there are paintings and photographs too. How appropriate that the totally topsy-turvy condition- During the pandemic much of my art focused on themes surrounding the times. While we were in lock-down, I painted this water based oil and acrylic painting representing staying in our homes while the virus prowled around us

Artist statement: Fredian Slips are whimsical sometimes Afro-Caribbean, sometimes ancient artifactian, sometimes somewhat Santerian, sculptural objects, masks, and necklaces with pendants. Oh, there are paintings and photographs too. How appropriate that the totally topsy-turvy condition of our currently absurd world would inspire "slips." I love Photography and creating in many mediums. This photograph was taken in a wine cave in Crete, Greece
