Born 1975, Ferm did not discover his need to paint until the winter of 2001.  “Having no formal art training, apart from elementary and secondary school classes, my first efforts were the foundation I have built my creative voice on.”
With over 1,000 finished works, on paper, canvas, and wood, his paintings are in public and private collections worldwide. Ferm has some 80 solo and group shows to his credit, including a one man show, presented by Paul Fisher Gallery @ the Coral Springs museum of art, in south FL
  His work is used extensively by interior designers, has been seen in design publications in the U.S. and Europe, and can be found on several television shows. Recent design collaborations have seen his work transition onto cycling and other athletic apparel.
He lives on Cape Cod, with artist Sarah Conrad-Ferm and their two boys. He remains dedicated to a career in nursing and continues to work in a critical care setting at Cape Cod hospital in Hyannis.
