Freida McKitrick - Printmaker
Liverpool based fine artist and printmaker Freida McKitrick’s work reflects the time-honored practice of taking common, ordinary images and objects and placing them in an artistic context, but with a little twist: She selects images or things that are or were at home in ordinary human life but have some extra significance. Freida’s art is based on observations of life using a variety of subjects to record events, situations and ideas that have inspired her, or given cause for amusement.
Freida works from a studio in a renovated mill in the heart of Liverpool city centre, she draws her inspiration from the eclectic mix of architecture, people, and culture that radiates from Liverpool and other cities that she has been fortunate to have visited.
Inspiration for my work
"My work begins from a range of sources, photography, drawings and collections in sketchbooks. Images are created and reworked using paint, pen and ink, computer and printmaking techniques".
