Richard Faust exemplifies the "modern maker”: a creative entrepreneur who equally values personal expression, craftsmanship, and practical artistry. After earning his BFA from the Columbus College of Art & Design, he began his career as a Senior Illustrator at American Greetings. Outside of that work, Richard has cultivated a successful freelance illustration career, producing vibrant, engaging artwork for publishers, manufacturers, and retailers nationwide.
His original art continues to be a favorite of modern art collectors. His signature style of bold modern painting has evolved organically over time, culminating in multiple sold-out gallery shows in area galleries.
He lives just outside Cleveland in a mid-century ranch he shares with his partner, Jeff, and their spirited dog, Chip. Most Saturdays, you’ll find him in his home studio - coffee in hand, music playing – painting, making collages, and even quilting.
