When viewing the work of Fred Stonehouse you might think to yourself, "This guy is pretty messed up." His paintings and drawings tend to feature creatures and scenes that seem like the stuff of nightmares. If you think we are being too harsh on Stonehouse, don't worry, he has admitted as much to us. 

In fact Stonehouse is a delight to be around. He's about the most authentic person we've ever met. He is humble, wise, and witty. Unique, introspective, and daring. Genuine, gracious, and unguarded. He loves to talk. The unedited conversion between him and Sandy lasted an hour and a half. He has a dry and sarcastic sense of humor but is also clever and fun. 

If you look closely at Stonehouse's art, they reflect all those characteristics of his personality. His art pokes fun at himself a lot. Clever, sarcastic and unguarded. His art draws from his dreams. Daring and unique. His art also reflects a life built on strong morals and beliefs. Genuine and wise. If his art makes you uncomfortable let this be a lesson to look deeper than the surface. If you do you might discover a whole lot more.
