About Art by Farquhar

Our gallery

Art, artists and a personal connection.

Founded by Michael Farquhar and managed day to day by his son Jed alongside our small team, Art by Farquhar is built on long-standing relationships with artists and their families.

We purchase paintings directly and supply canvas and materials at no cost to the artist. Artists regularly visit our Edwardstown gallery to paint, share stories or simply spend time with the team.

Whether you visit in person or explore online, we’re here to help you get to know the artwork and the artist behind it.

The artists we work with

Across the Central Desert and APY Lands.

Our collection brings together original paintings from communities including Willowra, Yuendumu, Utopia, Ernabella (Pukatja) and Watarru.

We work with artists across language groups including Warlpiri, Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, Alyawarre and Anmatyerre. Each work carries its own connection to the artist, their Country and their story.

Buying with confidence

Direct relationships.
Documented provenance.

Every original painting comes with a Certificate of Authenticity documenting the artist, their community, the story behind the work and its provenance.

We are a member of the Aboriginal Art Association of Australia and follow its code of conduct for fair payment, honest representation and ethical trade.
