Freda has been a member of Oatley 101 Society of Artists for over 20 years has exhibited in all their exhibitions and served on their committee. In 2017 she was made a Life member for her services to the society. 

In October 2003, Freda was accepted as an exhibiting member of the Royal Art Society of NSW and has showed her work in all their exhibitions since then.  In 2009, Freda was elevated to “Fellow”.

Freda, who has always been interested in people, both at work and play, demonstrates a high level of excellence using vibrant colours to depict a great variety of subjects from landscapes through waterscapes, cityscapes, still-life, floral, portraiture, life painting and miniatures. 

Freda is totally dedicated to her work, – when she’s not painting she is thinking about it.  She feels that good draughtsmanship is a basis for successful painting and never stops drawing.  She works in fine detail using strong colour to create pieces, which glow with life and light.  This results in highly successful warm paintings, which demonstrate her ability to capture and recreate the images realistically. This is reflected by the number of her works, which are highly sought after by collectors both in Australia and overseas.
