about me

R.A. Fedde is a filmmaker, visual artist, and yoga teacher who is endlessly fascinated by the magic of the mundane.  In any medium, she’s seeking to tell a story along with, rather than to, the viewer.  She paints everything from fluorescent cats to strange quarks. Her abstract mixed media works invite viewers into pattern recognition.  Some see maps, alien terrain, cells under a microscope, distant galaxies — and all of these interpretations are spot on. Her documentary work has shown at SxSW, Slamdance, Telluride, and many other film festivals, as well as broadcast on HBO, PBS, and others.  Her 2018 feature, Five Faces of Shiva, has played to audiences around the world. The film combines her interests in mythology, fine art, mass media, and travel. Her drawings and paintings have shown at various New York City galleries and elsewhere. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and also enjoys travel, competitive fencing, and poetry.
