Marcia Frid

Marcia Frid grew up in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. She has taken workshops in various mediums including oils, watercolours and acrylic from local and internationally known artists. In 1993 she discovered inks in a workshop given by Maxine Masterfield, a Florida artist, and her passion for colour and spontaneity took a new direction. She has had two solo shows in Regina and the Regina Free Press wrote of her show, "The paintings are explosively bright, and filled with vibrant and brilliant colours. And indeed there seems to be an almost lyrical quality about the paintings. There's a sense of motion about them, a peculiar liveliness and light. There's a feeling also of freedom and spontaneity about them, and that's another reason Frid likes ink." Marcia Frid has also published four children's books and has published her poetry in various literary publications. She lives in Regina, Saskatchewan.
