About the artist

A well known painter originally from Woolton, Liverpool, she was born on April 12, 1896. Faithfull studied fine art at the Slade School during 1923 and 1924 before heading to Paris to study at the La Grande Chaumière. Her work was showcased at NEAC, RA, RBA, and more than fifty times at Leicester Galleries. Notably, her art is housed in the Imperial War Museum and Warwick University and was formerly part of the collections of Sir Kenneth Clark and Sir Edward Marsh.

During World War Two, Faithfull worked for the War Artists' Advisory Committee (WAAC), acquiring facilities and permits to create art. She used this opportunity to produce paintings of evacuee children and American servicemen playing baseball in a London park. These pieces were later bought by WAAC. She also worked as a surgical artist at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead under the direction of Sir Archibald McIndoe during the war.

Post-war, Faithfull built a solid reputation as a portrait painter, with her works exhibited extensively at prestigious institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts, the Royal Society of British Artists, and the New English Art Club.
