About Rod Frederick
The serene outdoors may seems at odds with the wild and crazy personality of
this artist, who is as famous for his paintings as he is for his sense of humor and
gaudy shirts! If seen on his constant excursions into the wilds, you might think
you’ve seen an eccentric pirate come to life, except this swashbuckling, seemingly
fearless explorer is more anxious to gain and share the treasure of knowledge
rather than riches. "I grew up in a house full of pets," he says. "My mom had a
degree in fine arts and although my dad was a lawyer, he was a weekend painter."
So his love of animals and art was sown early and he attended Willamette
University with a major in art and a minor in biology. He put that education to
good use as he embarked on a fine art career that would allow him to do what he
enjoyed most; explore and learn. Frederick built his house in the middle of the
Oregon wilderness and filled it with birds and animals. He’s hiked and camped in
mountains and forests throughout the northwest U.S., Central America and East
Africa. He has a special place in his heart for painting birds but mammals of all
sizes in the wild have found their way to his canvas from grizzlies to great cats.
