Fred Stone was born April 13, 1930 in St. Louis, Missouri, the second son of Sam and Dorothy Stone. When Fred was three years old his family moved to the Fairfax district in Los Angeles, where Fred grew up loving both art and baseball. Even though art was in his soul, gathering butcher paper from the local deli to draw on, taking the streetcar to art classes on weekends and summers ? he dreamed of being a professional baseball pitcher. But at age 16 Fred?s baseball career was cut short. After winning the 1946 state championship, his semi-pro team Burks Giants were invited to play an exhibition game against the St. Louis Browns. After eight and two-third innings with no hits, Fred's arm gave out. He was told he would never pitch again. But even as his baseball dream faded, his artistic dream had just begun.
Fred has painted the greats of racing history Barbaro, Secretariat, Zenyatta and the men and women that helped make that history happen, all with a unique style and passion. With a catalog of over 150 paintings, many have been prized by collectors and horse enthusiasts alike. He has had the great honor of having his work presented to the Queen of England, the President of the United States, and hobnobbed with the celebrities both on and off the track.
