Hi I’m Faith Humphrey Hill, a portrait artist combining knitting and drawing with digital tools. I was a gallery director for 20 years before becoming a full time artist. Follow my journey into knit prints, knit animations and beyond on my website.

My work provides an optimistic view of technology’s role in shaping our identity and relationships with each other.
The subjects are strangers to me, just as they are to the viewer of the finished work. Being a visual artist, I use my eyes to learn about the person, and in the process find commonalities between us.
Knitting (a form of binary code) is included because of its continuous flow of fibers that mirrors our interconnectedness as people.
These pieces are created using new and old machines. Incorporating technology in the process reflects my life with metal implants; as I am a balance between organic and inorganic so should my art.

The knit pieces turned out so cool. Would love to see how you turned them into tote bags. ❤

Hello! Thank you! The program I use is IMG2Ttack and it takes any jpg and turns it into a knitting pattern for you. The image doesn't need to be B&W. If you've selected "2 colors" in the software it will automatically create a B&W knitting pattern. Please let me know if you have further questions.
