Francis Farmar was born in 1948. His childhood was spent in Surrey and from an early age he displayed a passion and aptitude for drawing and painting. He was educated at Eton College (1961-66) where he was awarded the school Drawing Prize. Later he studied in Florence at Simi's Academy before going to St Martin's School of Art, London and the West of England College of Art Bristol.

From 1971, Francis Farmar worked for the auctioneers Christies, St James, London, first as Assistant in the Impressionists and Modern Picture department and latterly as Director of Modern British and Irish pictures. In 1986 he started to paint more frequently whilst at the same time acting as an independent art consultant.

Francis Farmar produces limited edition prints of places. His prints may be rural, urban or maritime - British or overseas - but in every case Francis tries to encapsulate the spirit of his subject. He gives a contemporary flavour to 'prospect' pictures, a tradition which stretches back to the Seventeenth Century, appearing to fly above the landscape - bending and stretching it in order to describe more than can be seen from a single earth-bound viewpoint.

There is a quirky, dreamlike quality to many of the limited edition prints created by Francis. Typically his prints feature strong and detailed imagery with bold, vibrant colours which are beautifully drawn and highly imaginative. Francis Farmar has exhibited regularly in major British art galleries and internationally.
