Abe Friesen
Abe was born in Steinbach, Manitoba and has always lived in Manitoba. He has always had an interest in painting, then at the age of 13, purchased his first set of oil paints.
He developed double vision at the age of 37 and didn't paint for a number of years. With time, he learned to cope with the double vision and started painting again. He really became serious about painting after retirement.
He always loved painting nature from which he draws his inspiration. He especially enjoys painting mountains.
He has entered several juried art shows over the years. He is a self-taught artist by studying the works of other artists through magazines and books. He has also done some work on consignment.
