About Faye~
Fay was born and brought up in the northern town of Southport in Lancashire.
The Edwardian character of this and other seaside towns in the North of England were to prove a lasting influence on her work as an artist.
There were still donkeys on Blackpool beach, amusements at the end of the Pier, and gaily-coloured beach huts on the sand. There were also ample references to days gone by; photographs of sailor-suited urchins and little girls in pinafores and panama hats. Drawing on both sources, Faye began putting her own interpretations onto canvas, working in her favourite watercolour medium and developing her own distinctive palette of colours.
Faye Whittaker is now one of the most sought-after contempory artists in Britain today.
