She was the recipient of many awards throughout the United States for her watercolors and has had numerous exhibitions, including the prestigious two-year traveling exhibit, "California Watercolor Artists." In Watercolor, Bold and Free, author Lawrence Goldsmith writes, "She retains the intimate quality of her perceptions, which come about through glimpses of a garden or wild flowers growing along the roadside in Carmel...Out of them evolve lyrical paintings, where imagination replaces literal observation." Golding is author of Watercolor Techniques and Color Theory. She was juried in as an artist member of the Carmel Art Association in 1970 and also served on the Board of Directors.Frieda and Bob moved to Oregon in 2004. “We were traveling a lot, but we felt we were getting stale in Carmel. Time to move!” They lived first in an apartment in Ashland to try out the area, and then they settled into an airy, light-filled apartment at Rogue Valley Manor in Medford. They absolutely fell in love with Oregon.
