John Ferry lives and paints in Prairie Village, Kansas, with his wife Amy and two daughters Katherine & Paige. He is represented locally by the Dolphin Gallery. His work can also be seen at the C. Grimaldis Gallery Baltimore, MD. This is what Kennesaw State University's Art Museum and Gallery Director Will Hipps had to say about John's Paintings "Ferry's works reveal the aesthetic beauty of the overlooked and forgotten urban environment and brilliantly portrays the cycle of change in our cities."
