Biography
Sorca O’Farrell’s work reflects her emotional response to her surroundings. She captures the atmosphere and mood of a landscape by building up areas of textured darkness in charcoal and ink, and rubbing away to reveal contrasting areas of light, creating descriptive layers imbued with feeling.
O’Farrell is a graduate of the National College of Art & Design (Fine Art Printmaking) and Dun Laoghaire School of Art & Design. She lives and works in Howth, Co. Dublin. Her work is held in many private and public collections.
