Artwork

Her artwork consists mainly of oil paintings and outdoor murals depicting close-ups of fruit like pomegranates, peaches, figs, kiwi, and citrus fruits. It captures macro details of fresh fruit cut open when ripe.[2] It has been described by Signet Contemporary Art as 'intimate, surprising, enigmatic, and bold as hell.'[3][non-primary source needed]

It has been displayed in multiple art exhibitions around the world in places such as the United States, Italy, and Portugal,[4] the United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong[5][6] Faustina's murals are located throughout the Southeastern United States[7] in cities like Atlanta,[2] Marietta,[8] St. Petersburg,[9] and Florence, Alabama.[10] She competed in the 2018 SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival[11][12] and the 2019 OuterSpace Project Mural Festival.[13]
