From a Private Collection, Eastern North Carolina

Acquired directly from the Artist.

Farish is known for her emotive pencil paintings, conjuring moments of clarity amid the ambiguity of grays. She draws flowers and other organics, often past their prime, with great tenderness, portraying tiny delicate details next to harsh aggressive marks in pools of contradictions.
Farish received the 2014-15 North Carolina Arts Council Fellowship, renewing her interest in feminist issues. She has completed the Jentel Artist Residency in Wyoming, the New York Mills Artist Residency in Minnesota and two Penland Winter Residencies in North Carolina.
Her work appears in the permanent collections including the Ackland Art Museum in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and has exhibited regionally including the N.C. Museum of Art, Artspace in Raleigh, the Southeastern Contemporary Museum of Art in Winston-Salem, among many other venues. Farish received her Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics from Meredith College in Raleigh and her Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Drawing from East Carolina University in Greenville.
