About Ferrell

• ​Artist at large working in Georgetown, south Seattle, at Illumination Studio. A Seattle native who has had long term interests in fine art, architectural drafting and the graphic arts. With a minor in Art History, the Bauhaus School from Germany impacted him most. He also pursued photography with an interest in the large format process.

• Painting predominantly abstract art and celestial visions in various mediums, they are the kind of images you feel like stepping into. I've always said I'd like to take a two week vacation in one of my paintings.

• As a youngster I was very impressed with the concept of the visual coupled with music. Roger Dean's album art for the band Yes was a perfect marriage of the style of music to the images associated with it. Dean, with his extension of the predominately organic Art Nouveau captured the didactic style of Yes' music.

• Ferrell's varied art background led him to Mary Tudor, artist, whom he studied with and shared a studio with for several years. Being third generation Elaine de Kooning and Bill Ivey, the influence shows in some of his work.

• Painting enthusiastically, Ferrell shares a studio with Dari Stolzoff ongoing in south Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood with the name of Rose/Ferrell Studio. His commitment to his art has put several pieces in art auctions for fund raising and numerous public spaces and private collections.
