Freddie Styles was born in Madsion GA. in 1944.
Freddie is an award winning horticulturalist and his work reflects nature's forms, textures, patterns and colors revealing how we are all connected physically and spiritually to the earth. Texture is a dominant element throughout his work. In Styles words, " I think of all the little textures as secrets. What things would say to me through touch, colors.... the use of natural fibers and what naturally happens to them when you, for instance, tear, crumble, tuck or gather it, or when a leaf disintegrates or when bark weathers..... my observing texture is like going from the general to the pacific. Freddie works with the roots of plants to supplement his brush. He is a fluent colorist, fearless of juxtaposing and harmonizing hues in spatial intervals that establish the overall structure of mystical landscapes. By paying homage to his childhood experiences of communing with the earth we are graced with an amazing illumination of nature.
