Artist’s Statement
“Though I had a great foundation of painting
and art in my younger years, I set it aside for
other interests until picking it up again a few
years ago. I still find myself disbelieving my
tremendous success and am always surprised
by the rush of pure bliss I continue to feel
pursuing this passion.”
“I think every artist sits down with a blank
canvas, a few paints, and creates – and in
that creation they pour a little of their soul.
In my work I try to bring out the emotions that
I enjoy in the great outdoors where I spend
much of my time.”
“I love color, design and expression. I also love
deep texture. Some of my paintings are full of
self-imposed imperfections. “Snap, Crackle and
Pop,” I like to say. I have a unique approach to
putting a painting together: I typically start my
process scraping or pouring my Gesso and use
a fair amount of texture in my under-painting.
This allows me to get the mood I’m looking for
in the piece. The hints of adjacent tones in the
under-painting bring out the strong vibrant
colors of my subjects, creating a subtle
reminder for the viewer.”
Inimitable –“That is the one word that I feel
describes my art. In an era of quick replicas
and knock-offs, you’ll surely recognize a
Fritz original.”
