Jacqueline Farrara

Jacqueline Farrara is a poet of image and form, weaving language and light into sculptural dreams. Based in Hudson, NY, with a satellite studio in Casstown, OH, she moves between worlds—photography, film, poetry, sculpture, and letterpress storytelling—blurring their edges into something intimate and timeless. Born in 1990 to a lineage of celebrated artists, Jacqueline penned her first poem at the age of eight, a spark that has since ignited a life devoted to artistic alchemy. Her work transforms photographs into immersive, tactile landscapes—greatly enlarged, abstracted prints that evolve into installations, sculptures, and living stories. In the warm months, she can be found busking poetry, offering verses to strangers like love letters to the fleeting moment. Deeply inspired by her grandmother, a renowned Ukrainian artist, Jacqueline’s work is a love affair with tradition and raw reality. She speaks in the language of impermanence, where longing, beauty, and the certainty of loss entwine. Nature and architecture become her co-conspirators, as her installations breathe, shift, and invite the world to step inside the poetry of the ephemeral.
