Frederick C. Wilda, a self-taught artist, followed a highly successful full-time career as a commercial artist by making a transition into mineral art. His passion for art is truly matched by his obsession for minerals. Fred created over 130 illustrations for the 2004 book, The Pegmatite Mines Known as Palermo, by Robert Whitmore. His work has been in articles in the Lithographie series as well as Rocks & Minerals and Rocks & Gems Magazines. Since 2001, Martin Zinn Expositions has commissioned Fred to illustrate specimens for use in advertising many of Zinn’s U.S. Shows. The renderings have been reproduced for magazine advertisements, billboards, and on T-shirts. In 2004 Fred was honored to be chosen the “Featured Artist” in the Mineral and Fossil Show in Munich, Germany. He was also the featured exhibitor in the 2012 East Coast Rock and Mineral Show in West Springfield, Massachusetts. His originals and Limited Edition Prints are in many collections throughout the United States and abroad. Selections of his paintings and prints are in the collection of the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California. Fred and his partner, Helen, own the business Natures Finest Creations®.
