Farell Beam's work is a process-based abstraction that investigates the ideas of chance and choice. Inspired by experiment and play, she sets up a formula to create structure from initial experiments with chance. In this way, her work attempts to reconcile and navigate uncertainty, intervene with choice and control, and give form to spontaneity, randomness and contingency. All pieces in her body of work are conceptually and visually related. She has a post-baccalaureate in Visual Art from UC Berkeley and a BSBA/MAC from UNC Chapel Hill. Beam lives and works in Marin county.
