Freida McKitrick
THIRD FLOOR
Elevator Studio
Parliament Street
Liverpool L8 5RN
Liverpool based fine artist and printmaker Freida McKitrick’s work reflects the time-honored practice of taking common, ordinary images and objects and placing them in an artistic context, but with a little twist: She selects images or things that are or were at home in ordinary human life but have some extra significance, which is carried over into their artistic incarnation. Freida’s art is based on observations of life using a variety of subjects to record events, situations and ideas which have inspired her, or given cause for amusement.
Freida works from a studio in a renovated flour mill in the heart of Liverpool city centre, she draws her inspiration from the eclectic mix of architecture, people, and culture that radiates from Liverpool and other cities that she has been fortunate to visited.

Inspiration for my work
My work begins from a range of sources, photography, drawings and collections in sketchbooks. Images are created and reworked using paint, pen and ink, computer and printmaking techniques
She believes that “architecture is the true art of the people; it surrounds us, envelops us and evokes emotional reaction and as such we are all exposed to the influences of it.”
