Faryn Davis originally hails from the hills of Western North Carolina where she grew up in a rural mountain setting among cows, tobacco fields and a strong folk arts tradition. There she spent many days wandering and collecting plants, tadpoles, bugs, feathers, nests, bones, vials of dirt, scraps of paper, and other biological what-nots and hoarding them away in small boxes.
She has carried on this tradition as a collector of small, powerful things in many ways in her mixed media art which often incorporates found organic elements into illuminated, shrine-like forms. She has been pursuing art-making from an early age and went on to study art in North Carolina School of the Arts, France, Nepal, and received a BFA in sculpture at University of North Carolina at Asheville in 2000. She has lived in Seattle for over three years and creates work full-time out of her Greenwood studio.
