Fred has since retired from teaching, but continues to create works of art. His work has ranged from traditional to abstract landscape, divinations, improvisations and multiples, structural rural landscape to crafting relief diptych portals and passages depicting spiritual change and transformation. Currently, Fred explores the richness of oil pastels, evolving his work to capture the natural wonder and grace of midwestern glacial hills and prairie. His work is part of many public collections throughout Minnesota, as well as private collections in the United States, Canada, Eastern and Western Europe and Australia.
