Aubry Frederick
American, 1954 - 2003
A Passion for Life and Art
Biography
Aubry Frederick, a native New Orleanian, spent much of his life as a carpenter before choosing a career in arts. Inspired by the beauty and contrast of his native New Orleans, Frederick began photographing the things about which he was passionate, the architecture, people, and nature in its cycles of wisdom and beauty. Places of worship and holy statues were often captured in Frederick's lens, as his personal faith grew. He served as a volunteer on many humanitarian missions, including two weeks he spent in Honduras and the Mosquito Coast, offering relief to the survivors of Hurricane Mitch. Frederick documented the devastation and loss of the land and its people with deep compassion. His passion and care, thus was one in the same.
While Frederick's wife, Lee, describes his work as, "An outward reflection of his beautiful sensitivity, playful and soulful spirit, and compassion." Frederick described his work as "abstract figurative". Frederick often referred to his work as "a gift form God".
Frederick's expressive art has been shown in multiple galleries throughout the New Orleans area and other states. It is included in hundreds of private collections, both in the US and internationally. One of his poignant pieces chosen by E. John Bullard, Director, is included in the Permanent Collection of Contemporary Louisiana Art of Noma.
Remaining work is available through his wife Lee, Mandeville Louisiana; Contact information: Lee Frederick (985) 630-7072 or (985) 626-3957; Aubryfred9@aol.com
