About Holly Farrell
- Holly Farrell (born 6 December 1961) is a Canadian painter who has been painting since 1995. Nostalgia drives her subject matter, Still Life being her main focus.
- Farrell considers her Still Life paintings to be simple meditations on people and places she has known - there is a sense of the portrait in everything that she paints.
- Farrell's subjects are the common, everyday tools of our day to day existence - things that many of us are able to project our own experiences onto. Farrell says: "Homely is how I would describe most of my subjects.
- It’s how I feel when I look at my paintings, whether I am connecting to something, someone, or some time.
- A clear line is drawn to people who are closest to me.
- My cookbook series is an homage to my mother…memories of her baking pies, roasting roasts – memories of her standing behind the counter of our family diner, lipstick on cigarettes and coffee cups.
- Chairs, bowls, clocks…other domestic tools…functional things that now hold special meaning, allowing us to reach back for a moment and maybe experience a bit of the past." Holly Farrell - 2017. Farrell's work has been exhibited in Canada, the U.S., England, and Japan.
- Her paintings are in corporate and private collections throughout North America, Europe, Australia and Japan including: BMO, Canada; William Louis-Dreyfus Family Collection (Gérard Louis-Dreyfus), U.S.A., Sony Music, Japan, TD Bank Group, and OPAM (Oita Prefectural Museum of Art), Japan. She lives with her husband and three cats in Toronto, Ontario.
