MILT FRIEDLY     sculpture     monoprints     resume

ARTIST STATEMENT

Milt Freidly’s childhood, spent fishing and camping along the Shoshone River, the Clarksfork, Sunlight Basin and in the Absorkee Range of Wyoming, was instrumental in shaping his aesthetic explorations in art. Drawing inspiration from the textures, shapes and colors of the desert, high plains and mountain ranges, his work has taken many forms – clay vessels, hand-pulled monoprints, mixed media, welded and cast sculptures.Freidly began his art studies at Cody High School, Cody, Wyoming where he was a member of the Jackson Pollock Art Cult.
