Ernest A. Ford FAE, or Fake Artist Ern, is from Washington D.C with roots extending northeast to New York. Using a multitude of artistic mediums, FAE explores his passion for the arts through shapes and colors in order to add a creative twist to his lived experiences. “I’ve been into art my entire life but after the Scope Art Fair in 2019...it was game on,” he said. Art has a way of teaching people and inviting people in. Having Black people in art spaces is life changing for many. FAE’s career path is a testament to what can be when invited into art spaces. “I was there with my brothers [from] the Bishop Gallery and something clicked for me...I haven’t looked back since!"
Specializing in FEELS abstract art, Free Enlightened Elevating Loving + Soulful, he is able to express and interpret the admirers point of view.
