B.J. Faulkner has an unusual background for an artist. Primarily self-taught, she has been painting since her childhood, but painting has not always been her primary artistic ambition. Her focus and love for many years has been singing - she has sung in numerous venues in a variety of styles ranging from musical theater to cabaret and opera. (CD of original songs available).

Her career as a singer/opera singer with French her forte, translated well to painting. A true francophile, her style, "Musical Themes and European Dreams," is noted for its French influence. A move to a non-metropolitan environment proved to be a critical step in her career as an artist.

Today, she is a gallery owner and artist in Lenox, Mass. The gallery, B.J. Faulkner Gallery, is dedicated to her work and serves as a flagship location for her originals. She has a unique style which is garnering attention from a growing base of international collectors. Faulkner's style, noted for its French influence, has a lyrical quality. Full of vibrant color and dramatic lines her images seem to dance on and off the canvas. She "sings with paint".
