In Peterborough, Ontario, Reta Frederick creates fractaled charcuterie boards,
metal art, metal on wood, and scarf ladders. "After I retired I Started with trying wood burning but quickly switched to fractaling. My husband and I both live to work in the shop."

The most fun is the metal work every piece is original.
Ideas come as you are working on it; always a real challenge and always changing its form as you work with it. Never doing the same thing twice, allowing us to be creative and experiment with different things. The metal pieces are always trees and sometime with animals."

Working in her home shop, Reta occupies her mind by playing music. She gets her inspiration from driving in the country.
"My favourite peice is in our garden at home. It is a Heron in the bulrushes."
Meet Reta at The Artisan Fair on May 4th, 10am - 2pm in Peterborough's Evinrude Centre!
