Stoney Faulkner What is your professional name? My name is Stoney Faulkner. Where were you born and does that place still influence you? I was born and raised in Henderson NC. It does not really influence. Do you have family, friends, or fellow artists who support you in your work, life and art making and how do they make a difference in your life? Most if not all of my friends and family support me and my art making. Having them helps me keep going and love making art. When and how did you start making art? I started making art in elementary school. I was just copying cartoon characters that I would watch but then I started drawing my own. Can you describe the time when you first realized that creating was something you absolutely had to do? Around middle school I found myself drawing way more than I used to. I would just sit in class and just start drawing designs on my hands all the time. I did it so much that my teacher got mad and took my markers away from me. Why do you make art now? I make art now because it is something that I spent most of my life developing. I want to see how much more I can improve and how far I can take my art career.
