Artist Biography

Faye Greenman (b. 1999) is a British oil painter whose work explores themes of nostalgia, romance, transformation, and emotional depth. Based in the UK, she holds a First Class Honours degree from Northumbria University and found her true creative voice through painting, selling her first artworks from her bedroom at age 20.

Since then, Faye has built a thriving full-time art practice and a loyal audience of collectors and followers inspired by her honest storytelling and dreamlike visuals. Her signature style combines delicate symbolism, flowers, doors, butterflies, with a distinct colour palette of blush pinks, ivory, and shadowy blacks. She often incorporates Polaroid-style borders and handwritten text, blurring the line between painting and memory.

Faye’s work is emotionally charged and deeply personal, with her Rose Tinted Glasses series marking a breakthrough moment in her career: a coming-of-age body of work exploring love, heartbreak, self-trust, and becoming. In addition to her studio practice, she’s passionate about building community, sharing her process online, and encouraging women to lead with courage and authenticity.

Her work has been sold to collectors across the UK and internationally, and she hosted her first major solo exhibition in 2024 with hundreds turning up to view her collection.

My Story


I've always been the baby of my family, the younger sister and the youngest granddaughter of four girls, so I'd like to think that has shaped me in some way. I've always been a very sensitive soul despite my sister's many attempts to toughen me up as kids, sorry Millie.

I can remember being a teenager was tough for me, trying to navigate new emotions and a deep longing for connection, it's been very clear throughout my life that I carry the world with me. There are some days that the weight of the world sits on my chest and there are days I feel all the joy this life has to offer. I put this down to being an empath which allows me to create great art from a place of emotion.

My obsession with art began when I was around 14, I still have all my sketchbooks from growing up which is so special. I would stay awake throughout the night to finish drawings, I would get wrong in class for daydreaming and doodling, I would draw tattoos on myself with pen.

My first commission came from my grandparents when I was 15, they really loved that I could draw. My nana and grandar took the drawing of a 1920's woman I had created to get professionally framed, with my grandar boasting to the framer that his 15 year-old granddaughter had made it for him. My nana still has it up in her living room today. Their support of my work honestly means the world to me, as well as my parents.

I studied Fashion Communication at university after a wild ride of dropping out then going back, the less we talk about that period of time the better (but you will see it in my art.) I graduated with a first class honours degree and set up my art business within my second year. I started by selling prints from my bedroom when I was 20.

When I met my partner, Loui, I was 19 and my whole life changed. I found passion, confidence and creativity in excess amounts. Loui is a music producer and DJ who goes by the name Sorley. We travel the world together as he plays gigs far and wide. We inspire eachother daily which I'm so grateful for. His love is my greatest muse.
