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. Embellished Fabric Collage became her favorite medium, which is to lay out
compositions using various fabrics (silks, suedes, cottons, etc.) which she glue-backs onto
the substrate. Fabrics are heat set; then traditional art takes over with paint, thread, crystals
and/or other embellishments with the goal of transforming visions into interiors, still lifes,
florals, city, and landscapes. Her watermedia, more traditional, is often more figurative.

After you order, look closely at the
embellished fabric collages versus her
watermedia art. On this website, the 3
dimensionality cannot be seen. In person,
does one interest you more? Enjoy your
