| A
practicing artist who exhibits regularly, specialising in printmaking,
painting, mixed media work and digital imagery. Work is in numerous
private and corporate collections.
Faye has an M.A. in Fine Art and has specialised in printmaking since
her B.A.
She currently teaches printmaking and fine art, part-time, in 2 London
colleges.
Artwork is based on travels
both worldwide and in the UK. Although using specific symbols (recognisable
imagery) I am not in pursuit of a single idea. The work tends to be
a reflection of our contemporary free for all, borrowing from a number
of cultural sources. The work is based on people and cultures, past
and present and the land and landscape. Trips are documented through
photographs and drawings, which are brought back into the studio and
developed into different media, often with the added element of memory.
Recent travels have been to India, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and to
Peru, where inspiration has been drawn from trekking the Inca Trail
to Machu Picchu. More recently, a road trip in the S.W. states of the
USA, a 115km pilgrimage along the Camino to Santiago de Compostella,
Galicia and a journey to British Columbia, Canada. Recent work encapsulates
imagery from all of the fore mentioned travels.
Recently completed a commission
for the new premises of Blackfish Capital Management, Saville Row, London.
