Bio

Shawn Farley is a sculptor with more than thirty years of art‑making experience, recognized for transforming foundry molds and discovered objects into abstract, anthropomorphic forms. Her work grows out of sustained reflections on social and environmental concerns, drawing on the long lineage of symbolic objects to evoke emotion, invite narrative, or open space for viewers to imagine their own.

Originally from the Midwest and rooted in New England for over four decades, Farley has exhibited throughout the Northeast for the past twenty‑five years. Her sculptures are held in more than sixty private and organizational collections across the United States. She lives and works in Northampton, Massachusetts, and is represented by On Center Gallery in Provincetown, MA, and Gallery in the Woods in Brattleboro, VT.
