The Fake-Naive Allure of Patti Friday’s Canadian People Work

Coming in 2026….extra work!

Patti Friday’s work are playful works on paper and canvas impressed by Canada, people artwork traditions, cultural storytelling, and deeply private symbolism. Rendered in a faux-naive model, they have fun daring colors, simplified types, and a powerful visible attraction that feels each expressive and warmly accessible. Her work lives on the intersection of positive artwork and ornamental artwork, providing items which can be wealthy with which means whereas fantastically enriching the areas they occupy with out pretence or pedigree.  Patti creates free-spirited narratives that honour place, reminiscence, and the handcrafted spirit of folks expression.
