My name is Patrice L. Farmer, I am a Primitive Folk Art Painter living in Johnson City, Tennessee. I was born in Detroit, MI from a Northern mother and a Southern Father from Tennessee. I attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, NM in 1993/1994. I also attended Marygrove College in Detroit before transferring to East Tennessee State University where I graduated in 2002 with a B.A. in Religious Studies with a minor in Cultural Anthropology.
Being a Primitive Folk Art painter means that I paint in a simplified style. My saying is: Fine Art comes from Skill but Folk Art comes from the Heart!" I find inspiration and tradition in the paintings of Grandma Moses, Geraldine Smith, John Sperry, and others. I paint southern landscapes and ethnic scenes.
My daughter, Lea Farmer-MacDonald is also an up and coming Folk Artist as well. Her artwork is also featured under my name with an explanation that it is her original work.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
