Farrier is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

She painted at the same wooden table where her father sharpened horseshoes, a habit that left her hands permanently stained with ink and iron. In The Reluctant Scholar, a nervous boy grips a book like it might bite him, the page edges yellowed from handling, proof that learning felt like a chore, not magic. Slide into your next gallery visit and look for the light catching the boy’s wrinkled jacket; it’s the only thing in the picture that isn’t trying too hard.
