THE ART OF FRED WILDA PRESENTED BY INVENIO FINE MINERALS
We are excited and honored to present the mineral art of Frederick C. Wilda. Fred is the world’s preeminent mineral artist - His paintings and prints are in the collections of prominent museums, universities and mineral collectors. We acquired Fred's entire limited edition print catalog featuring editions of over 200 unique mineral specimens from around the world. Fred has illustrated many of the finest mineral specimens discovered and now you can bring his beautiful work into your home and collection. The editions vary from 10-100 - Each print is signed, numbered and titled by the artist. Fred is a self-taught artist, he was raised on a small New England farm in Hadley, Massachusetts. His enthusiasm for the natural world developed when he was a very young child - He began sketching, painting and carving while still in elementary school. When an original work is completed a limited edition print series is produced to make the painting available to more people. A print series usually consists of 30 to 100 signed and numbered prints. Fred’s paintings and prints reside in prominent museums, universities and private collections around the world. At the age of 84 Fred has mostly retired from painting.
Fred Wilda is an outstanding spokesman, public relations agent and representative for mother nature. His ability to observe, interpret and paint nature's kingdom - animal and mineral is truly amazing. His watercolors are colorful, accurate and pleasing to the observer. Fred and his partner Helen Rodak are just super nice people - Marty Zinn

PLEASE NOTE:
- Many of the print editions have fewer prints available than the stated edition sizes. Once the number of available prints drops below 10 the price will rise incrementally.
- In the near future we will offer matted prints for easy and affordable framing - The mat will measure 16 x 20 Inches which will allow you to purchase an “off the rack” frame so you can avoid a more expensive custom framing job.
- If you prefer a custom frame please email us and we can arrange that for you.
