About FREAK'N ART

Anastasia Zielinski is a multidisciplinary artist and arts educator based in Bend, Oregon. Her work spans painting, fiber-based collage, and installation, all rooted in a deep connection to the natural world. Time spent outdoors is central to her creative process, beginning with meditative walks where landscapes dissolve into patterns of color, light, and texture. Rather than capturing sweeping vistas, Anastasia turns her attention to the often-overlooked — the dense, tangled growth along trails, the quiet beauty of wild plants in public parks and open spaces. These immersive environments inspire richly layered compositions that invite viewers to pause, look closely, and reconnect with the natural world. Each piece is a celebration of wonder and presence — a way to share the joy, calm, and curiosity sparked by time in nature.Read their story
