Alfredo Arreguin Framed Prints

Born in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico (1935), Alfredo Arreguin developed as an artist in Seattle, where he has resided since 1958. Arreguin enrolled in the School of Architecture at the University of Washington where he received a B.A. in fine art and subsequently, in 1970, an M.F.A. His work is in many public and private collections, including The Smithsonian Institution, The National Academy of Sciences, the Mexican Museum in San Francisco, California, and the Denver Art Museum.

Alfredo Arreguin's early life in Mexico, his journey to the United States during his formative years, and his eventual coming of age as an artist in this country have all combined to influence the artist's perspective on life and the world. Many of the elements that inform his paintings and give them a distinct character emanate from the memories of the culture and natural landscape of his ancestral home. These elements overlap and blend, in dreamlike fashion, with his most immediate experiences and his interest in the environment and the animals of the Pacific Northwest.
