Today we’d like to introduce you to Faren Collins.
Hi Faren, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I am a watercolorist and athleisure wear designer. My journey is unconventional, to say the least. I am very sensitive to energy and emotions of people, energy of places or energy of objects. Some people may refer to it as being an Empath. For the longest time, I had no idea this was something out of the norm. I thought everyone could feel and experience people and places on the same level as I experienced them. As I got older, my experiences became more intense. It was very difficult for me to hide or run away from it. So, I prayed to God for wisdom and guidance. God told me to paint. I thought it was absurd. I hadn’t attended art classes since middle school. However, I did it. After sharing my artwork via social media, I began to receive sale requests and requests for commissioned art. That was when Farever Art was born.
My painting technique and process is unconventional. I paint based on how I feel about a particular subject. All of my paintings are based on the energy of a person, place or object. I close my eyes and meditate on a subject. I paint with my eyes closed or I may gaze without focusing on the paper and paint. I don’t judge my art. I just create it. This is my precipitation, interpretation and vision of a subject.
I am also a 200hr RYT and Barre Instructor. I created an athleisure wear clothing line. This line transforms positive energetic painting and designs into wearable art.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
My journey has been relatively straightforward as far s business is concerned. However, the emotional aspect of my art and process has been very hectic and unconventional. Some of the struggles I have had along the way has been spiritual confusion, inconsistent artwork and lack of confidence in myself.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a watercolor artist and pattern designer of my own athletic wear company. All of my artwork is original is based off of the energy of a person, location or object.
What were you like growing up?
As a child, I was shy, reserved, a loner and artistic. I was never a fan of people outside my family. However, my biggest outlet and love was art. I loved dancing, singing and art.
