Born
and raised in Port Arthur, Texas, lovin and livin in Austin,
Faith takes great pleasure in obliterating the illusion of uniqueness
and individuality promised by mass-produced, pre-coded, craft
materials. By using throw-aways, paint swatches, packing and
labeling supplies, scrapbook paper punches, Perler Beads, and
a red hot iron, she makes her Hobby Lobby dreams come true.
