About The Artist

"I have always been intrigued by figure; the shape of trees, flowers, animals and especially the human figure. Imagination along with physically seeing or touching brought to fruition using some medium like stone, paper, wood, clay, oils and lots of color and contrast. Hence what I painted or sculpted can be experienced as well as seen." -Richard Faye

Richard Faye was born in Pittsburgh which he left for Atlanta as soon as he finished school. At the Atlanta College of Art he studied under Kristopher Meadows and Eula Ginsburg and slowly found his passion. After 20 years another move brought him to Taos, New Mexico. There he found a supportive artist community and much inspiration in nature and continued on his way to find his style. Richard finally arrived in Arizona (Sedona and Jerome) in 2008 where he continues searching and perfecting. Although he thinks that he has arrived at the perfect place to live he knows that life is unpredictable.
