my goals: To Play. To create. to find magic.

to remind us of our oneness, of what we have in common.

I’ll start with My name. it’s Faren. LIKE FAHRENHEIT.

 I was named after a character on The Young and the Restless. The young woman had amnesia and didn't know who she truly was. I think we all lose ourselves at one point or another. For me, painting brings me back. 

Art in my life has evolved from my earliest memories of growing up. I questioned the boxes that we put ourselves in. Life happened, challenges ensued. As a teen, I began to use art as a way to distract from uncomfortable emotions, to work through the loss of my father and to process life’s bigger questions.

This personal discovery resonates with me: we are simply residing in a human body and we are MORE than this flesh. As we live, we may forget. We experience pain and fall for illusions. We also have the power to uncover and recreate ourself as many times as we want to. With time and support, each time, stronger.

art can help to remind us that we have answers and power within.
