Biography from The Adobe Fine Art:
|  An unrelenting passion of Farrell Cockrum’s is to introduce the world to the Blackfeet People’s traditions through his contemporary art. Painting, sculpture and mixed media are some of Farrell’s favorite tools of expression.
Farrell has a profound respect for traditional forms and his need to create is driven by tradition, not restricted by it. Farrell’s dreams and his beliefs in the Creator inspire his uniquely personal creations.
From the Blackfeet Nation of Northern Montana, Farrell’s passion is telling the story of his Native American heritage through contemporary works of art. Vivid color, rich texture and striking subject matter are core ingredients in a Cockrum painting. Add a touch of abstract expressionism and you are entering his world.
In Santa Fe, Farrell was inspired by countless new influences and his considerable talents blossomed. The result is his work is as innovative as it is purely native American. In time, Farrell’s work would change and become more aggressive, and color and more color would become his muse. As an alumnus of Santa Fe’s Institute of American Indian Arts, Farrell chose to remain in New Mexico for its continuing inspiration and renewing beauty.
