Frey Studio Artists Bios

H. Joseph Frey has been creative his whole life. Partly self taught, partly
university trained, his artistic endeavors have ranged from metal arts to
leather arts to clay to canvas paintings and more. Joe takes most of his
inspiration from the natural world around us. Believing in the Creator, and
that his artwork is His gift, it is Joe's special form of worship and
thanksgiving. He has a special concern for the conservation of the limited
resources of our earth and the precious wildlife that shares our planet. He
hopes to bring some of this wonder of the natural world into public
awareness with his art.

Joe painstakingly carves the original tile mural then makes plaster press
type molds. He presses the clay into the molds to make the tiles. Each tile is
detailed and glazed, in the same precise elaborate style of his paintings

Carla L. Frey began her creative life with an interest in fiber arts and calligraphy when she
was a teenager, and continues today. As a trained graphic artist with over 25 years of
experience as a designer for a electrical sign company as well as print media. She also
dances hula and bellydance which has inspired some unique and beautiful costume accesories
that Joe and Carla collaborate to produce.
