Faith Johnson was born in Loveland, CO. Having grown up with both parents as artists - she, too, is carrying on their legacy. Throughout her life, Faith has always been fascinated by the details of her surroundings and how the world’s beauty is represented through nature and heard through music. Naturally, she was drawn to illustration. The interest was cultivated during her teenage years and further developed when she began to paint murals for her community.
After playing in a warehouse with a multitude of artists, Faith delved even more into her career as a Public Artist by becoming The Lyric's own Artist in Residence. She has worked on many projects behind their colored doors, and hopes to work more with children, musicians, and film makers. The paintings are only part of the narrative. She uses the practice of Upcycling to create functional art that can be seen in homes, festival stages, and film sets. It is a collaboration between the artist and her mind’s home. She feels that the artistic exchange between space and the artist opens up many opportunities.
Faith has also specialized in gallery management, with a focus in exhibition curation. Her favorite kind of art show would focus on community involvement with an interactive response. She is also pursuing a residency of her own accord, and aims toward working internationally.
Faith currently lives and works in Fort Collins, Colorado, surrounded by the mountains and it’s biorhythms.
