Mary Ellen Farrow was born in Mount
Forest, Ontario and currently resides in Brampton, Ontario. Her work
is collected throughout Canada and the United States.
“I work almost exclusively in stone
using broad, rounded, rhythmic lines that conform to the natural
character of the stones. My goal is to produce work that is tactile,
shows movement and emotion, but demands reaction. The work should
speak for itself without explanation or title, but be able to be
interpreted by individuals in their own way.
The challenge of working on large public sculpture is most
rewarding. I enjoy the mental contest of finding the idea, relating
the idea to the history and environment of the site and then bring
the idea to fruition. My recent monumental sculptures have had an
intricate bronze detail added to them to give them a distinct flavor
and contrast beautifully with the smooth lines of the stones.” -
