FAITH (Eleisha Faith McCorkle) is a fine artist and cultural producer whose work unifies the notions of resilience and reconstruction. FAITH uses storytelling and the process of collage to communicate the layered multidimensionality of the Black experience through creating large-scale scrolls, cooking and sharing soul food, and curating immersive experiences. FAITH’s work serves as purposeful interventions as Blackness is investigated and venerated through space, food, power, spirit, and magic.

Hello everyone!
I love to create paintings in oil and acrylic on canvas and putting my art on t-shirts and handbags.
My love of art started when I was 8 years old and has continued throughout the years.
In high school I studied Commercial arts and in college I studied Graphic design.
I have shared my love of art teaching elementary/middle school students in afterschool programs throughout Maryland.
I look forward to sharing my art on this beautiful platform.
My name is Constance A. Kinder. I believe that “art is life,” and therefore, it is essential that children of all ages can express their creative side in a multi-faceted way. This is why our activities include visual and performing art activities. The power of creation for a child is part of their development. They can look at what they have drawn, painted, sung, acted, or danced to and appreciated their creative expression throughout the duration.
