A native Capetonian, Faith47 uses her talents to educate, uplift and inspire the people of South Africa

Working in both the community and commercial fields, Faith47 is undoubtedly one of the most talented artists on the global graffiti scene, giving a uniquely feminine touch to this distinctly urban style.
 Working in diverse mediums such as aerosol, photography, digital illustration and canvas, she is strongly involved in the South African social and political scene, also forming part of the Red Bull StreetStyle crew that visited local schools in 2005.
 "As an artist, Africa's culture and people inspire me - her cities, towns and her politics. My roots are in Africa and my inspiration and passion comes from here" she says.


Faith has also worked extensively in the commercial field, designing campaigns and illustration work for Nike, X-Box, National Geographic and Dickies to name a few.
She has recently opened a design studio with Mike Saal, called Mattblack which showcases talented design and illustration artists from the Cape Town area.

South African based artist faith47 released this video as part of her the restless debt of third world beauty project. It was directed by Rowan Pybus with music by Fletcher.

"Poignant, beautiful, and inspiring, this short film delves straight into the heart of South Africa and the artistry that beautifies its streets, cities, and slums."

"The law should recognise the positive side of graffiti and encourage this element. Legal walls should be allocated for younger writers to be able to practise on and progress their own style"
-Faith 47
