Jerry & Jessica Farrell

    The1960s found Jerry Farrel playing piano in Yukon taverns, then playing for a circus puppet side show.  By the 70s, Jerry found his vocation - making rustic furniture.   Jerry was one of the first rustic crafters in the re-emerging rustic movement that is now sweeping the United States and Jerry is the "Grandfather" of this revival in the rustic arts.  Jerry's obsessive twig mosaic work has set a very high standard, a standard that few subsequent rustic furniture artisans have been able to meet.  Foraging in the forest, Jerry collects - roots, burls, striped maple, yellow birch and more turning these components into all varieties of household folk art items, from picture frames to sideboards. 

     Jessica  collaborates on many  rustic projects, contributing her accomplished painter's skill, incorporating acrylic portraits of woodland scenes and wildlife into her husband's creations. Either of these artist's work can stand alone yet their combined talents make for exceptional presentations of innovation and craftsmanship.

    The Farrell's work is acknowledged in books, by the media and is found in private, corporate and museum collections.
