Frauenfelder, Peter

Peter Frauenfelder is a visual artist, sign painter, musician and native San Franciscan who has lived in New Orleans since early 2020. Prior to working at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Art Peter was a Camp Director for 4 years at Tree Frog Treks, an outdoor education program based in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Since a teenager, Peter has worked in the arts and education with a focus on fine art, mentorship, and community development. While working at the Precita Eyes Mural Center in San Francisco he learned painting and drawing skills on a large scale and gained experience working with a diverse group of ages and cultural backgrounds. Through his mural work he also discovered his love for letters and soon found an apprenticeship in traditional sign painting in Berkeley, California. At the same time, Peter was encouraged to pursue work in early childhood education and started substitute teaching at a preschool in the Bay Area. A lifelong musician, his interest in folk songs, as well as his experience in arts education, and childhood development lead to a fun and successful career as a licensed Early Childhood Educator. In 2017 Peter chose to leave teaching young children full time and moved to New Mexico where he had developed through his musical tours in the Southwest, a community of like-minded musicians. The beauty of the Southwest allowed for Peter to focus more intentionally on his art and music; traveling and painting signs throughout the small desert towns of Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas. Eventually he found himself in New Orleans when his wife was offered a job at Southeastern University in nearby Hammond, LA. Over the last 20 plus years Peter has designed, painted, and assisted in the painting of over 40 murals, has released over ten albums of original music, toured throughout the U.S and internationally, as well as licensed songs to tv and film. He loves working with children and incorporating his love of music and art into the curriculum. He looks forward to building a fun, inclusive and educational arts camp this summer at NOAFA and can't wait to meet the new campers this summer!
