Faye is an artist, a gallerist, and an overall amazing figure of influence and ability in the global art culture, focused in the small art rich city of Dumaguete. Faye describes her artist journey as she transitions from her whimsical dedication to painting otherwise known as her "leap of Faye" to a gallerist within the city. From highlighting our human super power and its ability to dictate how our "walls" effect the creative mind, as well as how the environment effects the art. Her eloquent pronounced definition of her intentions truly showcases the motivation behind her success, with the ultimate sacrifice of her own journey for the paving of others.

deadlocks being the artist he is, caters his life to understanding and expressing who he is becoming. A tattoo artist who shares the passion of being the canvas just as much as the artist shares his experiences of the most memorable of tattoos. Knit picking at deadlocks understandings of being raised as a preachers son to being crucified himself as an art installation exhibition. The scarcity of definitive reasons behind his tattoos permanently etches the artistry of deadlocks into himself, leaving an everyday excitement of interpretation.
