Born in 1975, and raised in New Canaan, CT., Ferm did not discover his need to paint until the winter of 2001. “In late December of that year, I felt compelled to paint. Having no formal art training, apart from elementary and secondary school classes, my first efforts were the foundation I have built my creative voice on. The joys and pitfalls, of my life experience, are expressed through a universal language.”

With over 1,000 finished works, on paper, canvas, and wood, his paintings are in public and private collections worldwide. Ferm has some 80 solo and group shows to his credit, with a solo show @ the Coral Springs museum of art, in south FL.

“I don’t have a college art degree and I don’t have an art critics vocabulary. I paint when I’m feeling good and I paint when feeling otherwise. It used to pour out of me, as fast as I could move the brush, though I’ve since learned to restrain my efforts. My process of late has become quite intense, by design. My intention is to reveal a complex and timeless process that is easy to engage.”

Ferms’ work is used extensively by interior designers, has been seen in design publications in the U.S. and Europe, and can be found on several television shows. Recent design collaborations have seen his work transition onto cycling and other athletic apparel.

He lives on Cape Cod, with artist Sarah Conrad-Ferm and their two boys.
