 Philippe
Faraut received his degree in woodcarving
and the construction of French fine
furniture from Germain Sommeillier in
Annecy, France, his boyhood home. An avid
traveler, Philippe's destinations have
allowed him the opportunity to study the
cultures of many countries in Europe,
Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, thus
influencing his work in portraiture.
After establishing residence in the
Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia, he
developed an interest in modeling the
head in clay. Soon, thereafter, he
relocated his studio to New York State
and began teaching sculpting classes.
Philippe
has created numerous original works
ranging from six-inch porcelain figurines
to monuments in both stone and bronze. He
has exhibited his sculptures in various
galleries and national competitions
including several of the National
Sculpture Society's Annual Exhibitions
shown in New York City and Brookgreen
Gardens, South Carolina, as well as the
American Portrait Society's Annual
Exhibit in New York City. In addition, he
has studied forensic reconstruction with
internationally recognized expert Betty
Pat Gatliff.
 During
the past twelve years, Philippe has
traveled throughout the United States and
Canada, teaching sculptors and aspiring
sculptors how to render portraits in clay
at private studios and institutions such
as the Longview Museum of Fine Art in
Texas. Together with his wife Charisse,
the couple has made Philippe's techniques
available to students in the form of a
two-part video series, in addition to a
step-by-step instructional sculpting
book.
