About

Hi I’m Purple Faye (artist Faye Johnson with a love of everything purple)

I transform ordinary cardboard and modroc into beautiful 3D Acrylic Paintings that are tactile, sculptural and unique in my studio in Pontefract, West Yorkshire (near where the liquorice Pontefract cakes are made.)

I made my first 3D Acrylic Painting at Brayton High School as part of my GCSE art project, I then went on to study A-level Fine Art Printmaking and BTEC Diploma in Graphic Design at Selby College. After spending another year at Selby College getting a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design I then went to Leeds Metropolitan University to get my BA (hons) Degree in Contemporary Creative Practice (Art and Design).

I’m on social media if you’d like to find and follow me. I show work in progress and behind the scenes shots of my adventures and I’ve started making videos of my work showing the process from start to finish.
