ABOUT FRED CHOATE
In 1982 Fred began his "full time" art career painting large murals around the Northwest. In 1997 landscape painters Tom Szewc and Ovanes Berbarian introduced Fred to plein air painting. Since then his full time passion has been painting the Southern Idaho landscape. Fred grew up in Southern Idaho, which has a wonderful diversity of subject matter. Within a one-hour drive from his home in Boise you can find deep canyons, deserts, alpine lakes and farmlands. He is beginning to find, however, that it is the relationship of water to the land that really fascinates him. No two bodies of water refract and reflect light in the same way. Attempting to capture this elusive quality of water is what keeps painting exciting for Fred.
