About Seyna Fredrickson, Artist

Experience the light and beauty of life captured on canvas.

For over 50 years as a professional sculptor, I created commissioned clay portraits in Phoenix, Arizona and Dallas, Texas.

Since moving to Western North Carolina in 2017 my imagination has been awakened by the incredible light and colorful beauty around me, the multitude of flowers, the gorgeous weather that brings people and animals outdoors.

Now as a painter, I capture the light and color with the luminosity and sheer expression of oil paint on canvas.

I paint what I consider to be ‘portraits’ of flowers, close up and somewhat large. AND, because I am a pet owner and love to see the reaction of pet owners to my work, I paint portraits from photographs of beloved pets.

Style

My work is influenced by the vibrant colors and textures of nature, as well as the emotions and experiences that we all share. I strive to create pieces that capture the stunning reality of the subject, then go deeper to feelings conveyed.

Process

I begin each flower painting with a photograph or several to inform my efforts, then allow the materials and my instincts to guide me as I work. Generally I have taken the photo myself - occasionally I use another’s photo with permission. Flower portraits evolve from my own emotions and reactions to the beauty and complexities of the flower.

For a pet portrait the pet owner provides a favorite photo (or several) along with their vision to assist me in creating the desired result. I will check in with the owner(s) as the painting develops to get answers to questions that may arise.

Background

Since earliest childhood I have thought of myself as an artist, carving soap animals at age 5, and drawing likenesses of my classmates and teachers in grade school. I completed a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Art from Brandeis University in Waltham, MA. and an MBA at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.

For all of my working life I pursued parallel businesses in Organizational Consulting and Fine Art Portraits.

I've studied portraiture with George Davis in Dallas, TX, and numerous online instructors. As I prepared to transition away from sculpture I spent some years designing and creating artisan dolls of polymer and paper clay; then several years painting silk scarves using silk paint. Ultimately I found I wanted to create more in-depth paintings using either pastels on sanded papers or oil paint on canvas. I find the process of painting sometimes very large flower portraits fills me with joy, more than any other art form has ever done!
