About the Artists
Faith
Stepping into Faith’s world is an entrance into a magical world of unparalleled beauty and wonder. Her images will undoubtedly take you on a delightful journey to the exotic places of the heart and soul.
Faith’s images represent a new form of artistic expression, completely unique
to her. There’s an intrinsic poetic quality to her work. Just as the language
of beautiful poetry transports one into the higher realms of emotions, the dance
of her lines and symphonic use of color serves as her vehicle in conveying the
sublime. Her colors capture the brilliance and vitality of the dreams and
yearnings within us all. Her serene settings and graceful and refined characters
reflect her deeply romantic view of life. With each added viewing, one discovers
new perspectives and nuances missed at first glance.
Each painting requires many hours of detailed work. To create the very distinct look of her art, Faith uses a variety of non-traditional techniques that leave even the professionals wondering. The carefully chosen names of each image reflect Faith’s lyrical nature and capture the deeper essence of each dynamic and evocative image.
Finding the source and flow of creativity has been a part of all of Faith’s endeavors. Her world is cross-cultural, interweaving motifs that merge into a universal aesthetic experience. This talent stems from a rich professional life, which has included teaching foreign students of many diverse nationalities as well as traveling and living abroad in different regions of the world, including Europe, South America, the Middle East, and the Orient. In addition to teaching, Faith has been practicing yoga for more than 17 years. Her advanced yoga practice and yoga teacher training has imbued her artwork with a magical sense of harmony, balance, and vibration of color and form. Behind the meditative and peaceful closed eyes of the men and women in her artwork, one senses individuals that truly see and sense the beauty, joy, and preciousness of life.
Over the years, Faith has pursued her interest in painting only as a means to express her vivid inner world, and not with the intention of being published. As gifts to friends and family members, she would make color copies of her artwork and create hand-made greeting cards. She later discovered that these cards had been kept, framed, and treasured. All those who knew of her work had continuously encouraged her to share her images with the world. Now, exclusively through The Wonderful Card & Poster Co., Faith's original creations are available as greeting cards, posters, journals, and art magnets for all to delight in.
