There is a lost culture in Louisiana. With the event of Hurricane Katrina many old wooden fishing boats that pointed back to decades past have been lost. Luckily Herman Ferrell, a fishing boat artist who has focused on Louisiana and its waters for years, has captured perfectly many of these lost treasures.
These fishing boat limited edition prints available perfectly reflect what these old beauties looked like, but so would a photograph. What is unique and priceless in Ferrell's works is his love of Louisiana, his connection with nature, and the feeling of being there that can't be expressed by a camera.
We invite you to spend some time enjoying the selections offered on our website. Soon you will feel like you're in Louisiana yourself.
Herman Ferrell's heart and soul belong to Louisiana. He has lived in this beautiful place virtually all his life. The only thing that comes close to his love for his home is the love he feels for art. As a mature artist he has spent years perfecting his artistic techniques to develop a look that is uniquely his own. Ferrell's fishing boat limited edition prints bring anyone viewing them right into the heart of his world. You feel his love for the subject matter, his connection with the culture surrounding him. You are transported back to those days before Katrina since many of those wooden vessels pictured in his works were destroyed by that mighty hurricane.
While known as a fishing boat artist, this doesn't adequately express Ferrell's creations. While the vessels may be the center of the piece that feeling of being immersed in nature is what sets his art apart from the rest.
