Faith Love is a self-taught visual artist from Peoria, Illinois, celebrated for her minimalist exploration of the human condition and mental health. Confronted with the overwhelming weight of emotions from childhood trauma that seeped into her adult life, Faith's artistic journey began with words. When words no longer sufficed, she turned to drawing as a therapeutic outlet and challenge, as a way to externalize her emotions rather than being crushed by them.

Her work delves into themes that many find difficult to discuss openly, transforming pain into compelling, raw beauty. Through her art, Faith offers a unique perspective, inviting viewers to confront and connect with their own emotions—a privilege she lacked as a child and young adult, while articulating them with a concise and straightforward approach.

Her subjects, often portrayed as masked or faceless human figures, are created with pristine line work set against a consistent neutral background—one that Faith has made her personal signature. By masking or obscuring the faces, Faith removes the personal connection between herself and the subject, allowing viewers to project their own emotions and experiences onto the artwork. This technique directs the viewer's attention solely to the subject. By stripping away excess detail and focusing on essential elements, Faith Love's minimalist work distills emotions down to their purest forms.

She explores themes of love, heartbreak, loss, joy, depression, and detachment, all which stem from the trauma she endured during childhood and her long battle with mental health issues. Each piece is an invitation to reflect, feel, and connect with self.

“Art is a silent dialogue between the creator and the observer, and I seek to make that conversation as honest as possible.”
