Fran Farrar

Fran Farrar’s work revolves around concepts of time, memory and ancestry. She uses a combination of traditional printmaking methods to interpret intimate emotional concepts through abstracted imagery. Fran is interested in an historic continuum, diarizing her own memories in conjunction with those of the natural and built environment. She returns repeatedly to a vocabulary of specific mark making, adjusting and refining, to explore line, light and texture.
Fran regularly exhibits nationally, recent exhibitions include RWA 169Th Open, Bristol; Tarpey Gallery Open, Derbyshire; ‘SIX’ Quay Arts, IOW; 'Scion', Cupola Gallery, Sheffield and RBSA Photographic Open, Birmingham. She lives and works on the Island.
 
Fran holds BA (Hons) Expressive Arts and MA Community Education. She has a significant history as a senior qualified youth work practitioner with particular interest in youth participation and involvement in the Arts nationally.
 
Fran is a founding member of IW Creative Network and was awarded a fully funded photoshoot by artist Julian Winslow.
