William Ferris

William Ferris is a writer and painter based in Washington, D.C. Born in 1937, he has drawn and painted off and on since he was a teenager.

“I never studied art in the traditional sense, never took a class in drawing or painting, but have tried to learn what I felt like I needed to know when I needed to know it. If there’s a pattern of development in my work, I think, looking back, it would be one of slogging towards simplicity.”

Bass and Mayfly is mixed media on paper, mounted on hardboard and framed. Mostly Standing Stones is oil and cold wax on hardboard. “Franny” is oil on wood panel. All other paintings are oil on canvas.
