Faye Mylen
Faye Mylen is a landscape painter who loves to explore ways to bring abstract qualities to representational art, while capturing a taste of the mood and ambiance. She finds nature's raw beauty to be the best inspiration for her work.
Faye describes her entry into the world of art as one of great resistance, as she never wanted to be a painter. However, she found herself
becoming preoccupied with an internal pull to paint, which she chose to ignore. After this preoccupation became stronger and harder to ignore, she decided to grab a brush and put some paint on a canvas. Today she is so thankful that she did, as painting has become such an integral part of her life.
