Brett Freda has been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember. She received a double degree with honors in Fine Art and Writing from St. Lawrence University in New York. In addition, Freda studied painting, drawing, and photography at the Lorenzo de’ Medici Institute of Art in Florence, Italy, and was invited for intensive residency study at La Cipressaia in Montagnana, Italy, under internationally acclaimed South African artists Rose Shakinovsky and Claire Gavronsky. Since 2011, Britt has focused the majority of her painting on endangered species. Her work was included in the 2013-2015 Environmental Impact U.S. museum tour and is part of the National Museum of Wildlife Art’s permanent collection. Britt’s work is exhibited in galleries across the country. From a small farm on an island in the Pacific Northwest, with her family by her side, Britt searches the horizon, looking toward future generations.
