When you live in a place you know it differently than a tourist. People in New York, for instance, go to different restaurants and out of the way theatres as a part of their everyday life. You don't find them on Broadway every night or eating at the best restaurant in Manhattan the way a visitor may do.
And similarly there is a true difference in paintings and other artistic expressions from natives of a certain area. You can probably find Louisiana art prints created by dozens of different artists. Many of them will have similar themes of jazz musicians, Mardi Gras, and New Orleans. But this is not life as a real Louisiana artist might see it.
Herman Ferrell is a lifelong resident, and his Louisiana isn't the tourist version. We invite you to browse our enchanting selection of art to experience this fascinating state like a native.

Sometimes an artist works to expand his or her range. While this alone sounds like a good thing, it can sometimes mean that the person's initial passion, intense focus can be lost. Ferrell's Louisiana art prints are passionate, focused, and fully the native's Louisiana.

He captures the life of fishermen, both now and before the largest of their boats were destroyed by storms.
