Backyard | Claire Farrow

Claire Farrow was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. She is a current senior at Miami University pursuing degrees in Art Education and Studio Art, with a painting concentration. Her work varies in subject matter and material, but primarily features drawing and painting landscapes in a naturalistic style. She is especially drawn to oil painting and charcoal drawing because of the adaptability in the process.

Backyard features the idyllic landscape of a creek surrounded by trees with a barn in the background. At what point does a natural landscape become a park, someone’s backyard, or a piece of property that just happens to have plants?
