Fache Desrochers is a bon vivant who also happens to be a prolific artist.
After refusing to major in art at University of California Santa Barbara, Fache studied philosophy and literature. This was the correct choice because she had been teaching herself how to paint and draw for years, and where else was she going to learn critical thinking skills? Her small, conservative hometown? No.
In general, Fache’s work deals with themes of nature, the uncanny, life, death, and the way human beings navigate this world amongst our fellow creatures. After living in California for 41 years however, Fache’s last several paintings have depicted wildfires and climate change, and this is likely to continue.
She also writes and illustrates children’s books, and is a pretty compelling puppeteer. That stuff just kind of happened though.
Fache has exhibited work all over California, and exactly once at the Satanic Temple in Salem, Massachusetts.
