An Exploration of Farris Lewis

Farris Frances Lewis

I am twenty-seven years old and live in McDonough, Georgia. I have lived in Henry county for sixteen years. This is my third year living in my own home that I call “Three Broomsticks”.

I attended three elementary schools, three middle schools and graduated from Eagles Landing High in 2004.

Hobbies and Interests

I have always loved stories, in any media. I enjoy reading novels, watching movies and plays, listening to music, and writing my own stories.

I love the visual arts as well and love fashion and costuming. I like to create my own costumes through crafting and designing. I am learning to sew.

I enjoy doing makeup. I used to do prom, pageant and wedding makeup. Now, I do theatrical makeup for the school plays.

Career Aspiration

I absolutely love being a teacher and mentoring students!

BUT, if I had to choose something else to do with my life. I would love to be a costume designer for theatre, television and movies.
