2027 Featured Artist: Inslee Fariss

We are thrilled to announce that Inslee Fariss is the Featured Artist for the 2027 Harding Art Show!

The Featured Artist plays an important role in shaping the look and feel of the Harding Art Show each year. We love to select an artist whose work captures the spirit of our school and community—art that is joyful, welcoming, and full of personality. Inslee embodies all of these qualities, and we are so excited to have her as part of this year's show!

Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Inslee is known for her whimsical artwork and timeless approach to the beauty of everyday life. Her signature style features delicate florals, playful wildlife, and nature-inspired designs, all brought to life with a fresh and distinctive perspective. Her work has an unmistakable charm that feels both classic and contemporary.

Inslee has built an incredible brand around her artwork and has collaborated with some of the biggest names in fashion and design, including Oscar de la Renta, Anthropologie, Lela Rose, Neely & Chloe, and Lake Pajamas. From original artwork to thoughtfully designed products and exclusive collaborations, her creativity has reached far beyond the canvas.

We are honored that Inslee has accepted our invitation to be the 2027 Featured Artist and cannot wait to share her beautiful work with the Harding and greater Nashville communities. We know her distinctive style and joyful approach to art will make this year's show especially memorable!
