Bio

Ferris Martinez is a visual artist living and working in San Francisco, CA. Stemming from an early love of comics, his work quickly gravitated towards a representational approach, focused specifically around the figure. Recently he has been making a shift towards incorporating abstract marks into his practice. It is his hope that this merging of styles will result in a new, vibrant body of work.​
