Fredrick Edward is a creative producer, film maker, visual artist, and large scale art construction project manager who is actively working across industries and disciplines.
Fred-ed is queer, trans, intersex, and non-binary.
Raised in Los Angeles to commie pinko artist parents; Fredrick Edward was born into creative and free thinking. They left school early to pursue queer life and art in San Francisco at 17 years old with a GED in hand. They found gainful employment producing raves, dominatrixing, as a stage hand, performing with artists, marketing software, and working to translate across teams with different cultures and various functionalities as a project manager. By 2020 they were celebrating a fulfilling executive consulting practice in arts & entertainment after having worked in dozens of cities across four continents and having built competency in German & Spanish through their collaborations with international makers. In 2022 after a sabbatical from entertainment and corporate work and some re-tooling via Otis College of Art & Design: they stepped into making their private creative practice into a publicly expressed constellation of experiments and visual thinking games. Their active studio art practice extends from photography and projection of time-based works into outdoor sculpture and assemblage collage. They currently live in Troy, NY with their brood of rescued reactive animals including three equines, a cat, and a dog.
