The Faux-Naive Charm of Patti Friday’s Canadian Folk Paintings



Coming in 2026....more paintings!

Patti Friday’s paintings are playful works on paper and canvas inspired by Canada, folk art traditions, cultural storytelling, and deeply personal symbolism. Rendered in a faux-naive style, they celebrate bold colours, simplified forms, and a strong visual charm that feels both expressive and warmly accessible. Her work lives at the intersection of fine art and decorative art, offering pieces that are rich with meaning while beautifully enriching the spaces they occupy without pretence or pedigree.  Patti creates free-spirited narratives that honour place, memory, and the handcrafted spirit of folk expression.
