Faye has been exhibiting her work most years since the 1970’s.
She has spent many years teaching art in secondary colleges to all levels particularly working as a specialist art teacher with year 12 students at painting and art history.
On a personal note I was privileged to have Faye as my year 10 art teacher and I am thrilled to be able to see her paintings in this extra ordinary pop up gallery at 33 Fitzroy Street, Window Art Walk as part of the St Kilda Art Crawl.
This ancient land touched me very deeply. I was profoundly moved by this visit; an experience which pervaded my very being. I was silenced by it’s beauty and timeless quality, with it’s rivers and gorges, rock formations and land structures. The heightened colour, vast expanses and patterned forms, seen here, presented me with a sense of freedom not found elsewhere.
I believed I could interpret this beauty in my own personal manner and that in doing so, I would have subject matter for a life time.
I am pleased to say that my paintings have been well received and given much pleasure to many people. They have been the vehicle which has given an opportunity to share my experiences, and instil a desire in others to have a further personal encounter with his wonderful land. by Faye de Pasqualie

There is a renewed sense of exuberance on the sunset side of Fitzroy Street, St Kilda.
I attended the salubrious launch of Freddie Warschauer’ s latest addition to the Fitzroy Street St Kilda landscape in #HAPPYFoLK vegan cafe; and the feeling of excitement and new beginnings was palpable.
#HAPPYFoLK is a fresh, quirky vegan and fresh juice cafe offering the world’s most drinkable coffee including turmeric latte, beetroot latte, chai latte and golden milk. With emphasis on conscious living, pure foods, power foods and animal free foods, #HAPPYFoLK is about enhancing personal health and enriching the environment.
Although Freddie is not a vegan himself he is passionate about the life choice and #HAPPYFoLK’s message to the world is green, recycle, ethical, conscious, responsible, hopeful and be kind to animals. In short, a breath of fresh air to an area that has suffered the loss of spirit, street culture and art: the life blood of any grand community.
Freddie usually spends this part of the year in Europe and Italy orchestrating the renovations of the spectacular Villa Beltramini, where his mother was born. However due to the strong connections his family has had to St Kilda since the 1950’s Freddie has a deep commitment to the future success of Fitzroy Street.
For Freddie Warschauer who starting working at his parents’ establishments in Fitzroy Street from the age of 12, it is all about art, culture and community spirit. This is his gift to theCasterly Rockof St Kilda.
#HappyFolk is a work of art with hand painted walls featuring a beautiful mural awash with messages of love, peace and serenity. Indeed a canvas in itself spearheaded by Freddie and manifested by a group of dedicated artists and visionaries all with the same aim to inspire love and appreciation to all that enter.
Having had the official launch on the birthday anniversary of his father Frederick Warschauer #HAPPYFoLK is soon to be the epicentre of a surrounding pop up Window Art Walk display. This will be sponsored by Freddie Warschauer in the spirit of creative collaboration as part of the St Kilda Art Crawlinitiative; which will also be launching on the 21 – 24 of September 2017.

Curatorial notes:
“We have to remember that what we observe is not nature herself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.” – Werner Heisenberg.
It seems humanity is stuck on repeat cycle, spinning round and round with no real clue as to the true nature of things.
Symmetry cannot be broken since all events are one with the cycle of birth, life, death and resurrection. This is one of the many truths of our existence.
It is apparent that through symmetry, the Hidden and the Un-seen shape our daily reality. Or; on a deeper level, the collective experience referred to as living.
Re-inventing LIFE through ART, an ongoing therapy.
Silent intelligence, each soul’s higher self, speaks of a collective, a whole; the human race as one. In our hearts we all know this to be true, one only needs to apply thought. Pressure in the frontal lobe region may follow as a result, tension will subside with gradual use of the minds eye.
If you’re in disagreement I invite you to come along and allow the artists involved to persuade you of another outlook, or more accurately in-look. An in-look which becomes an outlook of the soul. Push the envelope and watch it bend, be like the reed in the wind, the one Confucius spoke of. The Hidden runs our lives, for most of us have no idea of our purpose of existance. Most of us hide behind invisible mask of our choosing.
Man is a walking talking paradox, who’s hypocritical abilities are of legendary status. At this point in humanity’s evolution I believe it is important to pause and take stock of one’s true purpose, lights, gifts and shadows truths. Together they provide the human halone with a third dimensional experience, according to information (thoughts) available.
Seems to me, one’s thoughts and intent should take precedence above all.
