"Painting is a true passion in my life"

         Faye’s portraits can be found in corporate America as well as private residences. She has traveled to France, Italy, Hawaii, Mexico and Costa Rica and brings the colors and essence of these beautiful places into her paintings.

“Capturing the soul of the subject on canvas is the ultimate job of the artist.” Her portraits of people have become treasured keepsakes that will last more than a lifetime.  Her ‘pet portraits’ reflect her love of animals and her ability to make her paintings come to life. Whether it’s a Pop Art, Impressionistic or a Classical painting, Faye’s talent becomes reality in her artwork.

        As a graphics designer, she crafted the New Jersey Transit Logo, which can be seen on every bus in the Garden State. Her artistic abilities became apparent as a young child. While raising her two sons and designing packaging for the cosmetic industry, she developed her love of painting portraits of people and animals. Her love of oils, acrylics, stained glass and mosaics are evident in her works. A recent showing of her works raised money for the National MS Society.

        Faye studied with international portrait artist Nelson Shanks at Studio Incamminati, Charles Schmit at Tyler School of Art,  The Pennsylvania Academy of Art, Marvin Matheson, Woodmere Art Museum, Mimi Oritski, Anna Rhodes, Carol Watanabe, Moore College of Art and she received her BFA from Syracuse University.

        Living in the Western suburbs of Philadelphia, Faye teaches workshops for aspiring artists. Her workshop series entitled ‘Artists in Bloom’ helps those with a ‘seed’ of artistic ability to ‘grow’ to their potential.
