Member's Gallery: Fredrick Porter  

Born in Missouri, Fredrick entered his first art competition at age 14 and winning 1st place in a state wide student art show. Fredrick completed his art degree and went on to study with some on today’s renowned artists. To name a few Fredrick has studied with; Tom Lynch, Thomas Kindade, Nan Rae, Terry Madden and others. Along the way Fredrick has acquired an Art degree and an MBA with a focus in Marketing.

Fredrick’s years of education, experience, an active participant in juried art shows, art fairs and continued study with noted artists has enabled him to become a very knowledgeable and effective artist and teacher. It is this background along with his calm, considerate manner that gives him the ability to make visual art seem so east for everyone, including beginners and even the “I could never…” do the art they wish they could do. In the advanced level Fredrick puts more emphasis on personal style and growth. It is his personal and sincere willingness to help that puts students at ease so the student may do their best work.

I am an active artist in today’s art world. The past several years I could be found showing my art in art fairs, juried art shows, teaching, demonstrating art and producing limited edition collectables. My art may be found in many states throughout the US, corporate and privet collections. My love and zest for life may find me at the Alamo or the San Antonio River Walk, TX, Mount St Helen, WA, the Organ coast, the Louisianan bayou, Scottsdale AZ, St Augustine, FL, Garden of the God’s CO, Zion National Park, UT, the CA Delta, Monterey Bay, CA, Yosemite National Park, CA or just about anywhere the beauty of nature may be found.

I am a former aerospace engineering manager recently retired to travel and create art, attend art shows and teaching others the joy of creating art and expressing their feelings as I travel.

In addition to being a successful painter, Fredrick is a natural teacher who is especially intuitive in developing his students’ individual needs. Fredrick’ speaks openly and candidly, shearing everything he knows about art with his students. He helps students to tap into the creative process, providing the creative instinct, gently pushing the student to explore and fulfill his or her own artistic ability.
