Artist

Erin McGee Ferrell
Born and raised in Kentucky, my core is bluegrass and colored quilts. Educated in Massachusetts, I am a classically trained artist with a liberal arts foundation. Years of painting in Philadelphia awakened my love for architectural subjects. Now I paint in Maine, surrounded by water and big sky. My paintings capture the many variations of blue and grey around me. Structures: Urban and Coastal. My Large oils depict the geometry in the architecture of fire escapes and ship masts. I am drawn to man-made structures within cities and on the water such as bridges and old pilings. I am most interested in the negative space surrounding the architectural objects including the air within the geometric shapes of ships' rigging and bridge trusses. My intention for these paintings is to challenge the viewer to reverse the negative space to become the positive shape. The air that surrounds the shape becomes more important than the material object itself. That which is invisible provides the structure, which allows the visible things to serve their purpose.
