Interview With Franziska San Pedro
Posted by Franziska on Mar 19, 2011 in Art, Blog | 9 commentsThis week, my Facebook friend Louise Edington chose me for her Facebook Fan Friday at Lou Loves Learning!. I was really honored and very excited to answer her questions. Enjoyed the interview very much!
So I thought I’d share it with you:
What would you like readers to know about you personally?
I love discussions, open-minded people, different opinions, cultures, languages and I am a very philosophical person. Every day is a miracle and as long as I am allowed to walk on this earth and share my time with you, I don’t want to stop learning, exploring and discovering.
I am from Germany, became an Executive Chef in 1996 and worked in the luxury hotel & cruise industry for 14 years in many different countries and world-wide at sea. In 2008, I married my husband Ron and moved to McKinney in Texas.
And what do you do?
At this stage of my life, I am an artress, I discovered oil paint when I was 15 and ever since loved the bright colors and the way you can create statements without saying a word. My statement is love and harmony. I want the viewers to be comfortable and feel happiness when they look at my paintings. I translate the beauty of nature into impressionism and abstract.
Who is your greatest supporter in life and work?
My parents gave me a wonderful childhood with the world open to embrace. They taught me how to enjoy and respect nature, they gave me great education and they taught me that all men are equal. It is for them that I am equally comfortable with academics and with simple people (sometimes they are the smarter people). My husband loves me unconditionally and he supports me in all aspects of life “honey, whatever you want to do”. He’s my best friend and I can be the person I really am.
Who or what inspires you?
What does the word freedom mean to you?
What are your goals?

Thanks Louise ♥
I’m glad you posted this here after you were featured on Louise’s site–everybody should get to know you! That’s a lovely picture of you, too!
I am inspired by anyone who takes the risks involved in creating art. I think we lay ourselves bare when we create, whether we are using oils or words or some other medium. Freedom means I have distance from the negative voices and images that might hold me back.
Your art speaks to a great deal of freedom!
