No matter what genre she is working in, Farr says she always thinks about the shapes as well as the emotions she wishes to convey. “I am not trying to replicate exactly what I am looking at, so maybe you could call me a contemporary realist,” she says. Farr has studied with David Leffel, Sally Strand, Calvin Liang, and Ken Cadwallader. She is currently working on her masters of fine arts from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
