With collectors of his paintings throughout the country and in parts of Europe and China, the artist is represented by five galleries in the United States.  He has sold well over 600 paintings and has earned a living from the sales of his work for over 20 years.

To study and evolve his art, the artist traveled extensively throughout Italy and also to other various regions of Europe over attending art school. The artist has studied and learned from the works of many of the great masters in the history of art. His own paintings reveal his affinity for the 17^th century Italian and Dutch painters, while still remaining truly unique.

Internationally, the artist has exhibited at the Florence Biennale in Florence, Italy. NY ARTS Magazine covered that exhibition and, in their published review, gave the following praise to the works of Sean Farrell:

Rome, Florence, Venice, Cinque Terre, Naples, Sicily, and Tuscany have been favorite destinations for the artist. In one of his recent art travel trips, sent to Italy by a Washington DC area collector of his artworks, the artist spent a month painting on location in Cinque Terre and throughout the Ligurian region of Italy. He really enjoyed the light, colors, and the landscape he found in this beautiful region of Italy. Most recently, he visited Venice in the summer of 2019. Italy has always been and always remains a large influence and inspiration in the work of the artist.
