Cristina Farrèr is a self-taught painter. Her mother refused to let her attend art classes, in spite of her incredible early artistic talent. “Your creativity should not be boxed in!” - she said. However, her mother made sure that art materials and books were always available to her, as well as the support of the whole family. When it was time for college, art school got a family veto as well. Cristina has graduated with majors in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math, and holds a Masters in International Education. Her creativity was a constant in her teaching, always praised and copied. In 2023 she retired as a school teacher in Framingham, MA, and decided to pursue her first dream of becoming a full time artist. Since then she has had her artwork featured in Boston, Sudbury, Wellesley, Framingham, Concord, and several other towns in Massachusetts. She is a resident of Marlborough, Massachusetts. 

Cristina Farrèr enjoys exploring new techniques. She works in acrylics on a variety of canvas sizes. She enjoys laying paint using everything from brushes to fingers, bubble wrap to spatulas. Each painting involves a complex layering process. Flowers are her constant theme of choice. 

“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are the sunshine, the food, and the medicine to the mind”  ~ Luther Burbank
