enjoy delving into the Artists' Biographies
Ross Farrelly
I have been a passionate artist all my life. Somewhat of a polymath, my academic studies include degrees in pure mathematics, applied statistics, applied ethics and a PhD in information systems. Born in Auckland, New Zealand where I studied under Roderick Burgess, I now live in Sydney where my practice focusses on the use of natural materials in the making of both representational and abstract sculptures.
