Adam Faeth

Hello, my name is Adam Robert Faeth and I was born and raised in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

I credit my Mom, Lori, for encouraging me to try new things when I was young. I struggled trying to fit in with traditional jobs and society. So at 19, I joined the Army and became a Paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division. After I got out, the graffiti and street art movements caught my attention. I began dabbling with painting and mixed media. I knew I’d have to face my inner demons before I could pursue art as a career. At 35, I quit drinking alcohol and began bike packing which later led to through hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2023. Now I want to advocate for other artists and share how I’ve overcome my own personal struggles through art and adventure. I am now a founding member of a local art collective called, the Artsiders. I have 15 years of artistic experience ranging from graffiti, murals and stencil making to calligraphy and collage. I’m so excited to embark on my tattoo apprenticeship and share my artistic visions with the world.
