December Speaker

Farley Lewis. As explained on his website, “Farley’s work reflects the passion of one who maintains his childlike wonder at this big, beautiful world. As a plein air painter, he has grown from obscurity to national recognition over the past seven years. Since entering his first plein air competition in 2018, he has won several awards, including ten Best of Shows and eight Artists' Choice awards, and has been written up by Plein Air Magazine and other publications.”

On his website, he states: “I enjoy capturing the interaction of mankind and nature, the hard edges of architecture against the organic shapes of nature. Like the early Impressionists, I set out not to paint the objects in front of me, but the light illuminating them. I believe beauty is timeless and powerful, and when I capture the beauty I see in nature, I’m able to invite others into the experience.” https://farleylewis.com/
