About the Artist
Faith Marie is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, community programmer, and web developer based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Her creative practice explores identity, surrealism, justice, labor, perspective, and the emergence of personal mythology.As a visual artist, Faith works primarily in mixed-media painting, incorporating textiles, beads, plants, paper, and other materials to create texture, depth, and layered meaning. She believes this approach brings art to life, allowing it to extend beyond the canvas and reach back to the viewer, exploring the boundaries between canvas and sculpture.
The themes of her piece explore identity, surrealism, and the emergence of a personal mythology. A common occurrence in her work is the focus on perception, the actions that arise from feeling, and acknowledging the dynamic nature of reality. She is influenced by her reflections on living, inspiration often arising from observation and contemplations, and the internal drive to seek out a personal understanding of being in the world that may inspire others seeking personal meaning.
The artist also engages in software development by designing websites and digital media that go beyond stimulating the senses. Her goal is to build experiences designed to engage users while communicating a clear message. She works with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Wix, Figma, Canva, and WordPress.
Her practice also includes poetry, performance, and community programming. She has performed at events including Juneteenth Cincinnati, completed an apprenticeship with Parts of Pieces V2 Gallery, produced the Queen City Poetry Slam for Black Girls, and participated in URGE Ohio’s Radical Art Making Program. She is a recipient of the ArtsWave Black and Brown Artist Grant, through which she has developed creative programming connecting art, social justice, and mental health for Black girls and nonbinary youth. Faith has also partnered with clinics, schools, and local organizations to develop curriculum, research, and events that blend creativity and impact.

The task of cultivating intimacy with oneself, is a matter of give and take, to share in the sweetness of who we are, and to accept the offering, an exchange deserving of stillness, hope that in between rapid moments of change , self-love can bloom.
This piece examines the tension between striving and surrender, exploring the artist’s relationship to labor as both gendered and racialized; the androgyny of the figure suggests that responsibility and worldly success is not only a masculine pursuit, but one expected of sons and daughters alike. Her harvest also represents ancestral inheritance, a responsibility to individuals but their community. The central figure considers the emotional tension between productivity and rest—the pressure to succeed and the desire to exist beyond the demands of work, a generational longing for rest, peace, and freedom.
Anger, Revolution, and the pull between higher-thinking & non-violence and immediate action. Who has caused who harm here? Who did you assume was the perpetrator?
