Having his initial influences with art coming from the turn of the century American Illustrators, Ferry has always embraced the story telling side of the visual experience. His work examines the small towns and country sides of America’s past and present, where people’s traditions and livelihoods remain so intertwined with the process of their day to day lives. Having grown up within a strong tradition of hunting and fishing, the narrative and history of the American outdoors is something that has always resonated in his art. This series of pictures is a testament to the fishing traditions of Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest.
