About Me

Background

I am basically a portrait painter; of people, places and things. Mostly self-taught, in the early 60's I attended McCrady School of Art on Bourbon Street in New Orleans and painted in oils. I've had the good fortune to attended numerous workshops with nationally and internationally known watercolor artists to broaden my horizons.

I'm a lifetime signature member of the Louisiana Watercolor Society and the New Orleans Art Association.

I'm honored to have judged numerous art shows and conducted workshops in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.

ACRYLIC 3'x4' Sunset Heron

No longer able to paint in oils, I've worked in watercolor for over 40 years. I also enjoy painting portraits of people, animals, birds abstracts and other things in acrylic on canvas. Always excited to learn, I embrace opportunities to explore new techniques which I can't wait to share with others. It is through exploring the "what ifs" while instructing that make these techniques my own. This joy of sharing and teaching has started a new chapter in my life.

2025 TRIP OF A LIFETIME

This 26"x40" acrylic was inspired by a poster in a storefront this past summer. I spotted it when having Diet Coke in a sidewalk Cafe in Ponta Delgado (Azores) after traveling for a month in Spain and Portugal. While sketching, decided his eyes had to follow the viewer and the fun began.

Painting is my passion, but travel is what fuels this passion. Portugal was magnificent and gave me the opportunity to research my mother's family ancestry. The art, history, scenery, people and yes, even the food in Portugal were magnificent!

If you get to Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, don't miss the Federico DeFreitas Museum.

He did our DeFraites family proud!
