Faith M. Saxton
Faith M. Saxton is a fine artist with over 20 years of experience working in many different mediums. She is an enrolled member of the Gila River Indian Community, and currently resides in Pennsyvania. Faith is an Arizona State University Alumna, gradutating with a BFA from the Herberger College of Arts in 1999. Talking about her art, Faith states, “ My motivation comes from the humble challenge of painting and the elusive effects of chroma. The ‘space of a painting’ will often change by variations in color, tone and line. Subtle adjustments in the temperature of any color, or variations in shape of a line or pattern can dramatically push the sense of space in a painting.
I try to push those boundaries by playing warm and cool colors against each other, so that
those areas fluctuate from the foreground to background, creating what I call ‘ambiguous
space.’ Iridescent pigments and duochrome paints play a part in the ever changing movement in much of the work. I simply work to push and pull space. As art often reflects life, my art is a personal and emotionally charged reflection on my self, through organic forms and
abstractions.”
Faith has artwork featured in venues across the country.
