We have acquired a couple of Hilda's paintings for our home.  Her talent of creating vibrant representations of California's iconic scenery is quite magical.  Her use of color, combined with deft brush strokes, makes each painting come alive in a timeless manner.  We love the enduring ambiance she has added to our home.

I walked into a beautiful building in Ventura for an art show!  My son Kevin said he wanted me to meet a lovely woman named Hilda! I went upstairs and met her! Yes, she is lovely!  When I turned around I fell in love with her painting “Thirteen Palms”!  That was the beginning!  Every painting I have brings me joy! I ‘ve given some to my daughter and my son.  One day I still want one of her flower paintings.  I also got three ocean paintings and made a beautiful headboard for the guest room.

I cannot tell you how much I love “your hummingbird” painting and I will hang him right where you suggested.  I was trying to think how many years ago it was when I first noticed him in your collection.  I know now, it was meant for me and I thank you so much, dear.

“Path to Paradise, Big Sur”, is a wonderful painting.  I purchased it for my wife’s as a birthday present and just hung it up in our family room. We love it. Looking forward to meeting you some day.

I bought the 6x6 Poppy painting last week in Paso Robles and absolutely LOVE it but would like another 6x6 to put next to it to even out my art wall!

I just opened the painting and absolutely LOVE it! It is gorgeous and just what I wanted! Thank you soooo much!

Before we went to a concert in Arroyo Grande, we went to an art show at the Octagon Barn: “Colors of Conservation” by San Luis Obispo Painters for the Environment (SLOPE). The art was wonderful and I found a sweet 6”x6” original by Hilda Freyre that transported me at a glance.

Your lovely bluebird painting is flying away (migrating?) as a gift to one of my dearest friends whom I’ve known since High School… 
Thank you for your beautiful work! You are spreading joy.

I am solo traveling and this beautiful print of “Nature’s Color Palette” is going on my camper wall. It brightens up my camper and is a wonderful reminder of my time in SLO. Thanks!

Thank you for my BEAUTIFUL coasters. I just ordered a set to give my sister from New Zealand - know she will love them and will take her right back to memories of times she visited California.

One evening, downtown Ventura, ArtWalk. Never miss it. We came across a surprising artist whose art was so original, colors so compelling and style accessible to the human brain. We fell in love. We bought a painting of an umbrella and two red beach chairs in the sand. We took it home. Another art walk we bought another painting and then another and another. Hilda became a friend. We gave our beach chair painting to our realtor in exchange for sellers fees. We gave another to a neighbor who coveted it when we moved. Hilda’s paintings have homes in several states now but we keep several on display in our home wherever we live to remember this astoundingly talented artist.

I bought the “Pismo Preserve Trail” painting. I love it! Haven’t picked a permanent spot for it but it brightens up every wall I’ve tried it on.
