Faith creates paintings and monotypes in oil, pastel or acrylic. She simplifies a subject and then transforms it with her uninhibited use of texture, surprising colors and intriguing gestural lines. The result is an exciting visual experience. Her never-boring style ranges from abstract to expressionist and reflects her formal art training (BA in Studio Art) and less formal training under several accomplished art teachers in Northern California and Door County, Wisconsin. Her earliest art teacher was her Mother, once an art teacher at UofM, Duluth.
Her artwork hangs in private collections around the world.
