Welcome to
Fritz Liedtke Fine Arts
My work tells the quiet human stories that often go unheard, with sensitivity and compassion. As a visual artist, I work with photography, alternative processes, encaustic, and mixed media to transform what is raw into something beautiful. It is redemptive work.
I also lead workshops, helping students find their own voice, enabling them to tell their own stories.
Peruse the art. Buy a print. Collect an original. Schedule a show. Take a workshop.
Welcome.
Unfurling
Ferns, lichen, moss, wood, and leaves, combined with photography and encaustic medium. A meditation on the stories secreted away inside of us, and on redemption and resilience.
astra velum
The photogravures of Astra Velum explore the beauty of flawed human skin, with its freckles and scars, overlaid upon us like a thin veil of stars.
Dance Obscura
Dance Obscura is a series of photographs (a current work in progress) born from close collaboration with dancers, exploring the tension between grace and raw emotion.
sacred
In a political and social climate of divisiveness and moral outrage, how does one respond with something better than a tweet? How do we honor those who are marginalized? In my own quiet way, this is my response.
lost: construction / deconstruction
This triptych of encaustic-based self-portraits reflect my own wrestling with issues of faith and doubt, being lost and found.
The weight of history
Created in the Italian Alps, The Weight of History explores the memory of the persecution and perseverance of the Waldensians. These images are for all those who are oppressed, or displaced, or longing for home.
wallflowers and Photo-Encaustics
Over the years, I’ve developed a way to layer photography, printmaking, metal leaf, paint, and other materials, to create these deep, moody, 3-dimensional mixed-media pieces.
skeleton in the closet
For nearly a decade, I interviewed and collaborated with people struggling with eating disorders, to create these powerful portraits and texts. The result is a book and traveling show.
welcome to wonderland
We’ve all navigated the rocky terrain of adolescence in our own lives…. A gentle portrayal of this most awkward stage.
