Farrell is a native Arkansan residing in Arkadelphia, Arkansas for the past 38 years. Her interest in art started as a child. Formal training started with private lessons and then as a student of the arts at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia where she earned a Batchelor and a Masters degree. She has taught art in the public schools, at private lessons and in group workshops. Her experience includes commissions mostly in the area of landscapes with various exhibitions and awards.

"When drawing and painting as a small child, I did not know I was an artist. Art, as such, was not a part of the school curriculum except as I illustrated with drawings to enhance my school work. In my mid-thirties I received formal instruction in the visual arts and started a teaching career as an art teacher. I gain much pleasure in artistic expression and will paint on anything that stands still long enough with whatever medium that is compatible. You will usually see nature as the background in my paintings. We are very excited to welcome you to our third annual Round About Artist Studio Tour. Come on around to the back yard Country Barn Studio for a visit with me and Maggie, the studio cat."
