| Welcome to Art By Drina |
All images are copyrighted by Drina Fried. New artwork will be added regularly.
Drina Fried was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. After receiving her doctorate in
counseling psychology and education, she moved to central California and worked in that
field for 31 years. As do most artists when not otherwise working, she began as a hobbyist
artist. As such, she won many competitions and began being commissioned to make art for
others. In 2005 she became a professional artist, and in 2008 moved to Nevada with her
husband. Follow this Link to learn about this mixed media avant guard niche, Embellished
Fabric Collage. Her watermedia pieces are more traditionally executed.

Dine in Las Vegas where the "locals" come for good casual food
and art; and where everyone comes to see the Fremont Street
Experience.

While there- inside the Las Vegas Club- do ask to be seated in or
near the VIP room to better see Drina's art up close. Look closely
at the embellished fabric collages versus her watermedia art. On
this website, the 3 dimensionality of the fabric cannot be as easily
seen.

WHO AM I & WHAT DO I DO?
I patiently make Embellished Fabric Collages (click to
view), many of which have won awards, for you to
enjoy (perhaps too expensive to buy); I also paint
using watermedia (click to view). I offer both media in
prints, gallery-wrapped, framed or unframed, and
cards -rather affordably at
