Pop Icons.

Influenced by British Pop Artists Pauline Boty, Stella Vine and the ethereal allure of the Pre-Raphaelites, Faye's art is a fusion of past and present, tradition and modern palettes. She studied Fashion Illustration at UCA and spent several years in London, absorbing the night life and culture. She enjoyed using watercolour and finding ways to make the medium feel contemporary and provocative.

More recently she has been honing her skills painting in oils where she focuses on traditional painting techniques for the figures but introduces text, fluorescent accents, and decoupage into the surrounds to ensure her painting journey takes unexpected twists and turns. Elements of the Artist's whim and joy are then captured and resemble the fervent scrapbooking and image-banking which many women practice and hold closely as a badge of honour in terms of their taste and style.

Portraiture has been a steady passion throughout her life, and celebrating the feminine form. She finds the narratives for women more complex and interesting in addition to their diverse physical beauty. In recent years she has enjoyed interpreting pop culture in her work - flirting with glamour and kitsch; exploring tropes and symbols of femininity. This has also led to exploring historical female protaganists and their often problematic political place in the patriarchy and how we view celebrity worship.
