About the Artist:
Pearl Fridel, beloved central Texas artist was born in 1925. She was a career artist in the 40s, 50s and 60s working as a black and white photo colorist for Lloyd's Studio in Waco, TX and and Urbanovsky's Studio in West, TX. In her retirement she became a celebrated oil and china painter. She loved painting flowers and landscapes. Much of her most treasured work was in porcelain art. The unique artform became her passion throughout the 80s and early 90s. She was a member of the Porcelain Art Guild of Waco, TX as well as Community Artists and Students Association of Waco.
