Fred's celebration of the world of animals is seen through the eyes of an artist with a lifetime fascination of devotion to art and science. Rendered in both two and three-dimensional pieces, Fred's body of work portrays the diversity of animals on our planet in these challenging times. In depicting their resilience as well as their fragility, the artist hopes to make us more aware of the mutual effects (for better or worse) that nature and humankind have on each other.

Born (October 23, 1957) with cerebral palsy, Fred's own personal challenges have given him insight into the struggles for existence that most animals face in striving to survive in an often-harsh, uncaring world.

Residing in Flushing, Queens since childhood, Fred makes frequent visits to parklands, nature preserves, zoos, and aquariums in order to draw wild life. he also visits museums and libraries to research fossils for his prehistoric-themed illustrations. His nature book collection and photographs at home is extensive.

Although his title is Wildlife Art, Fred has made many commissioned works of pets, frequently as memorials. Besides patrons and private collectors, two of Fred's works are in permanent collections, one at Queens College Godwin-Ternbach Museum, the other in Wilmington, Delaware Museum of Nature and Science.

Fred's other solo art exhibitions include Hunter Mountain, NY and Queens College in addition to the current showing at the Quaker Meeting House.
