Alex McFarlane

I’ve been a member of the Guild and have taught at the school for twenty-five years. It’s been a rewarding and stimulating art experience. There is no other institution like it in the country.

Art is a form of communication. A visual artist should be able to express his intention without a verbal explanation. Commentary is left up to the curator, the critic, the biographer.
