KEN FARROW captures the diversity of landscape from Australia’s beaches to the mountains and beyond to the Outback. The soft colour, reflected light, and overwhelming sense of beauty and peace that characterise his work depict with extraordinary clarity our inspirational Australian tapestry. A professional artist for some 30 years, Ken Farrow has studied the techniques and methods of the Australian impressionists: in particular, David Davies, Charles Condor, Robert Johnson and John Rowell. Initially working in watercolour and poster paint, which was the forerunner of acrylic, he developed his expertise in oils through tuition from J. Timmerman and a long association with the legendary John Cooper. Born in Suffolk UK where he studied Fine Arts and Technical Drawing, Ken’s move to Australia brought him into regular contact with artists such as Hugh Sawrey, Frank DeSilva and Patrick Kilvington, whose knowledge and advice over the years has encouraged his artistic evolution. Ken Farrow now lives in the hinterland of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. His career has gone from strength to strength, spanning the continents and delighting art collectors worldwide. |

CARMEL FARROW is a traditional impressionist who continually experiments with colour to enhance her works' character, movement and grace. Through the use of colour techniques she gives full vent to the atmosphere and "soul" of each piece. A sought-after painter in both oils and acrylics, Carmel's chosen speciality is still life and the female character, varying from the Modern Miss to Miss Elegance and back to Ladies of Society. Her innate female intuition is evidenced by the passion and expression inherent in each of her paintings. Born in Kilcoy Queensland, Carmel Farrow took up painting seriously in 1985 and studied under many prominent and well known artists, including Ken Farrow. With his encouragement, she developed her own techniques and has since become an expert colourist in both oils and acrylics. Carmel's study tour of England and Scotland in 1998 broadened her appreciation of art and enabled her to meet renowned Australian artist, Arthur Boyd, at his home in Ramsholt, Suffolk. These days, Carmel Farrow's extraordinary paintings are in high demand throughout Australia and internationally. |
