(1940-2016)

From modest upbringings in Cudahy, WI, Patrick Farrell worked his way up from his eighth-grade degree and succeeded in the artworld. A self-taught artist, he was able to perfect tromp l’oeil technique through his super-realistic paintings. In 2018, Kohler Foundation was able to continue Farrell’s legacy by gifting eight paintings to the Miller Art Museum in Sturgeon Bay, WI and two paintings to the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend, WI.
