Private Party Drawing

Faith Patterson, an accomplished artist based in Illinois, has spent years refining her craft, emerging with a distinct voice in both representational and abstract styles. Residing in Northern Illinois throughout her life, Faith draws inspiration from her surroundings, infusing her work with the essence of the Illinois/Wisconsin terrain. Her paintings, particularly the impressionistic landscapes, skillfully capture the mood and vibrant colors of the region. The scenes she paints are not just visual representations but are imbued with the emotions and experiences unique to her own life. Oils are Faith's preferred medium, chosen for their buttery consistency and the remarkable way they retain depth and vibrancy. This choice reflects her commitment to ensuring that each brushstroke contributes to a rich tapestry of hues and textures. The result is a body of work that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the sensory experience of the artist's world. For Faith, art is a deeply personal journey—an exploration of emotions and experiences translated onto canvas. Her creative process is driven by a desire to share these moments with others. Through her paintings, Faith invites the viewer to witness not just a scene or an idea but the very emotions that fueled its creation. In Faith's words, "The process of putting to canvas, my perception of an actual scene or idea so that others can see what I see and (hopefully) feel what I feel, is the reason I create art; it brings me joy."
