Faith Chevannes

Faith is a Cornish printmaker and works from her studio in Launceston, North Cornwall. She trained in the 1990s at Falmouth School of Art and DeMontfort University, Leicester achieving a BA (Hons) in Visual Arts and a PCGE in Art and Design Education.

Her work captures fleeting moments and precious glimpses of our fragile natural world. Drawing is central to her process. She makes small editions of drypoint intaglio prints, that showcase the beauty of the mediums’ irresistible rich velvety burr lines.

Recent pieces revolve around her love of wild birds and many of them have a humorous perspective, which capture some of the fascinating little characters she has observed. She worries about environmental changes to their world causing them to lose habitats and become endangered, critically endangered and extinct.

Her work has been included in high profile shows such as the Royal Academy (RA) Summer Exhibition and she is a Royal West Academy (RWA) artist network member.
