Biography 

Born in 1952 in Sandy Brooke, Connecticut, Faust grew up surrounded by creative parents and art books. He became obsessed with painting from an early age, filling much of his time practicing, studying from the masters and creating his own techniques. In high school he decided to take a job in the carnival, and for four years he traveled California working the carnival and making art. This nontraditional experience provided Faust with the inspiration he used to create his style and develop motifs still apparent in his works today.

Faust works with acrylic on canvas, creating dreamlike images. Reccurring themes in his work include birds, altars, boats and feathers. These symbols relate to the artist and his perception of the fragile and chaotic nature of our world. He describes his paintings as “visual forms of the written word.” His work aims to craft a visual and poetic narrative as a means of escape and reflection.

Faust currently works from his home studio in Sausalito, California. He enjoys living with his family and working in the confinement of his personal studio. His work develops organically and changes as he paints all day while listening to classical music. Faust says he is not emotionally possessive of his work and is excited to share it with others. He enjoys hearing his viewer’s opinions and finds it liberating to send his art into the world for others to interpret as they wish.
