JUROR
Kiki Farish
Farish is known for her emotive pencil paintings, conjuring moments of clarity amid the ambiguity of grays. She draws flowers and other organics, often past their prime, with great tenderness, portraying tiny delicate details next to harsh aggressive marks in pools of contradictions.
Farish received the 2014-15 North Carolina Arts Council Fellowship, renewing her interest in feminist issues. She has completed the Jentel Artist Residency in Wyoming, the New York Mills Artist Residency in Minnesota and two Penland Winter Residencies in North Carolina. The City of Raleigh, NC, commissioned a video statement, Artist Block Series: Kiki Farish, which can be viewed on YouTube. She has a public studio at Artspace in downtown Raleigh.
Farish has exhibited in a number of North Carolina venues, including the N.C. Museum of Art and Artspace in Raleigh, the Southeastern Contemporary Museum of Art in Winston-Salem, GreenHill in Greensboro and the Greenville Museum of Art in Greenville. Farish received her Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics from Meredith College in Raleigh and her Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Drawing from East Carolina University in Greenville. Serving as an adjunct professor at Meredith allows her to revisit her alma mater and interact with a new generation of women striving to grow.
