Tom Farris has been immersed in American Indian
art his entire life. The child of passionate collectors,
Farris spent a good deal of his formative years in
various museums, galleries, and artists’ homes.
Having such intimate contact with the genre,
Tom found inspiration for his own growing artistic
aptitude. A member of the Cherokee Nation and
Otoe-Missouria tribe, he draws from his culture
and his life-long influence of American Indian art to
create his works.
