Mary Farl Powers, born in Minnesota, USA in 1948, relocated to Ireland in 1951 where she pursued her studies in Art at Dun Laoghaire and later at the National College of Art and Design. From the early 70s, she showcased her artwork and held the position of printmaker-in-residence at the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. In 1973, she became a member of the Graphic Studio, Dublin, where she dedicated herself to creating an extensive collection of print work, incorporating cast paper and paper sculpture. Notably, she was a founding member of Aosdána in 1981 and the Graphic Studio Gallery in 1983 where she served as a director for numerous years. She passed away in 1992 at the age of 43. Upon initial observation, this particular print Waterfall, may appear abstract in nature. However, its title implies a representational interpretation. The blue section positioned at the top of the composition symbolizes water, while the red portion can be perceived as a rock face or hillside.
