Welcome to FEI TeamArt

Hi, I’m Faye – the founder of FEI TeamArt.

This platform started as a one-person project I designed and built completely on my own. Over time, as more students joined and the content grew, I’ve been lucky to collaborate with a few wonderful partner teachers who help co-develop and deliver some of our lessons.
I'm proud that this has become a small, evolving team effort—rooted in care, creativity, and personal connection.

Below is the original note I wrote when this platform first launched. I’ve decided to keep it here as a little time capsule of where it all began.

About Me

Hi, I’m Faye – and welcome to my art platform!

This entire website is designed and created by me, from the ground up. It’s not built by a team or a company—just me, one artist and educator, crafting a space to share what I’ve learned and loved over the years. Do you like it?

I’ve been teaching, creating, and working in the art field for over 18 years—across classrooms, studios, contemporary art museums, and galleries. Now that I’m turning 40, and also a mom to a curious 5-year-old boy, I feel even more connected to the heart of what art means. Motherhood has given me fresh perspective—it reminds me every day to stay curious, patient, playful, and open. These are the same values I bring into my teaching.

Here’s what I’ve come to believe:

Yes, art can be self-taught—but your aesthetic sense, taste, technical skills, and artistic values need to be nurtured and inspired by something meaningful. My years in the contemporary art world taught me the value of seeing great art in person. Walking through galleries and museums, learning from artists, and being surrounded by powerful works—it trains your eye and helps you discover your own inner voice.

In my experience, there are two beautiful paths in art:

  • One is the free path—drawing, painting, and creating purely for joy, with no rules and no right answers. If you follow your heart, the process itself becomes a joyful, healing part of your life.
  • The other is the professional path—for those who want to become animators, designers, or architects. This journey requires long-term, focused training to build precision, design thinking, and the ability to express ideas clearly. But even then, seeing the best art and staying true to your passion are what make your work meaningful.
  • To me, art is more than a skill—it’s my lifestyle and my way of seeing the world.

    On this platform, I don’t position myself as a traditional teacher. I’m your creative guide, walking alongside you, helping you discover your unique style—whether you want to pursue art professionally or simply enjoy it as a part of your everyday life.

    There’s no fixed answer in art—but through the process, you will always find something that matters.
    Sometimes, getting lost in art is the best way to find yourself.

    Let’s begin this journey together.

    Meet Our Teaching Partners

    As FEI TeamArt continues to grow, more students have joined, and so have more teachers. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to meet a few very special friends who share the same passion and philosophy about art education.

    I’m quite a selective person when it comes to teaching partners — I need to truly understand their mindset and believe in their approach before working together. Each teacher you see here has a unique style, but we’re connected by the same belief: art is a way to discover yourself and express your world.

    That’s why I chose to invite teachers who not only have rich teaching experience but also share the same heart for creativity, exploration, and learning — no matter what language they speak or where they come from.

    We work as a team — and that’s exactly why we call it FEI TeamArt.
    Here, everyone learns from each other: sometimes my students teach me as much as I teach them.

    I’m proud to introduce my teacher friends, who have joined me on this artistic journey.
