Farrah Fortnam

Farrah Fortnam

Farrah is a Bristol based artist who studied at the Arts University Bournemouth. She painted her first ever mural in lockdown and has been painting in Bristol, Bath and beyond ever since.

She is an environmental artist with a passion for saving the rainforests. Seeing the destructive impact by humans on the natural world, she wants to highlight the climate crisis to the wider public through her street art.

Her exceptional murals also have the ability to brighten up any dark and dingy corner, and the piece we commissioned  was a welcome addition to our carpark in July 2023. Farrah works with her surrounding environment to create a site specific piece of work.
