In The Studio
Susan Freda
Co-Owner. Artist.
Marketing & Business Strategist
Susan Freda and Arn Krebs are partners in all things. Sue is a sculptor with a head for business. Sue started and ran Gallery 4 in Tiverton, RI for 12 years before moving on to a studio practice with Arn.
Susan Graduated from RISD with a BFA in sculpture and the Massachusetts College of Arts with a MFA in sculpture. She is also a 10KSB Alumni. Sue is a Pollock Krasner Grant recipient and has taught and exhibited at the de Young Museum in San Francisco and now exhibits internationally.
Tending to find beauty in neglected areas, she explores themes such as the underdog, the subtle and the forgotten. She assembles objects in her studio to create her own materials before weaving them together to create ephemeral, intimate pieces inspired by fashion and nature.
