I was born with a love of horses! Stables and the outdoors were my playgrounds growing up in Cumberland, MD. After completing my Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) degree in printmaking at East Carolina University (NC), I landed my first job as a book designer in New York City; MacMillan Book Publishing, 1969. Living in New York served as my springboard to the world.  I combine my skills and knowledge of batik, printmaking, digital collage and mixed media to create contemporary works of art. Fueled by my passions for horses, travel, art, and nature, I aim to create daily. Many of my processes are age-old techniques with cultural influences such as batik and printmaking that I now mix with contemporary techniques such as digital collage and mixed media painting. 

  Thanks to my artistic and enthusiastic Hungarian neighbor. I have been  making collage since high school. I often include my pen and ink work in these pieces. 

My previous career as a classical musician was a world of structure, rhythm, harmony and disharmony of chord and color, transparencies and densities of texture, fleeting nuance of

emotion. As a painter, I explore ways to incorporate all those elements in a stricter or looser sense, depending on my response to a subject. I love the qualities of light and space and communicating visually something of a human emotional narrative that can happen through a painting.

I am an award winning painter, illustrator, and graphic designer. 

My paintings and illustrations tend to be weird, abstract and imperfect.  Quite often I don't paint an image as much as I discover one from the relationship I build with a painting.  I see images in random things and my painting method comes from building up layers to find those images within the marks. emotion.

My current work is connected to dreams, meditation and other everyday connections.

 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. 

After 25 years as a  professional calligrapher, I found myself competing with the computer.  This was not fun and slowly I worked back to my roots as a painter only  this time using those magical sound symbols which make up our speech.

I am an intuitive painter, one who paints entirely from imagination -  never from photos. For me, colors, textures and forms are the most  important elements in a painting, although I always feel inspired by the  beauty of the landscape around me.
