Farrell's ethereal underwater images
have captured the imagination of a worldwide audience, and carry a
harmonious message of peace and unity. Each distinctive piece is
created with a variety of media which allows her to convey the
movement and animation of the light on the water that is central
to her spontaneous style. Although Farrell builds the work at an
easel, she adds the koi on a flat canvas. To create stones, she
places moulding paste on the canvas and rubs a bronze paint on the
background. Then she forms 'puddles' of acrylic with water and
alcohol to make dissolved areas, before defining the rocks with a
brush. The fish themselves area added with cream or white paint
mixed with alcohol to make them more transparent. She then adds
reds and golds to capture their exotic properties and uses a
brayer (a soft roller) to add a ripple effect to the water's
surface. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama during the time of
segregation, Farrell has strong recollections of the Civil Rights
Movement of the 1960s. Having observed these historic events she
strives to create a sense of harmony and fluid motion between the
many diverse elements in her works. The experience has helped form
her core belief that "There are many beautiful colors in this
world, and we must appreciate them equally. My work is about
liquidity and movement; I let the paints run together until
everything becomes a part of everything else."
