Farrow received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drawing from Murray State University in 1993, and an MFA in drawing from the University of Cincinnati in 1996. He taught at the Art Academy of Cincinnati until his eventual move to Indianapolis where he currently teaches as an Assistant Professor of Foundation Studies/Fine Art at Herron. His drawings currently revolve around human nature as seen through the figures of ethnic minorities. He states that this is a focal emphasis because, “I am interested in exceptions rather than rules, in the kinds of people that I don’t see often enough in works of art...at least not often enough for me.” He has won awards for both teaching and drawing, and his work is included in public and private collections throughout the country.
