An innovative visual artist, Ronnie Farmer, Jr., expresses great interest in the intersection of art, justice, and theology. Farmer uses dynamic colors and provocative images as a catalyst for dialogue about pressing social issues.  A native of Augusta, Georgia, Farmer’s art career began at Augusta’s John S. Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School. Later he moved to Kentucky and earned a B.A. in Religion from Berea College and a M.A. in Worship and the Arts from Asbury Theological Seminary.  

 

In 2010, Farmer completed his clinical pastoral education at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where he served as a resident chaplain in the pediatric intensive care unit. In order to minister to the unique needs of children, he employed creative arts into pastoral care encounters with both children and families in the form of art and music.  

​

In 2015, Farmer served as TEAM missions featured artist during their 125th anniversary celebration tour to major cities across North America.

 

Farmer is the founding director of the I Have A Dream Preschool Academy and currently serves as the director of the Christian Parenting and Caregiving Initiative at Indiana Wesleyan University.
