Kelly Harris, Haight Street Art Center executive director: "We are thrilled to host the work of Carolyn Ferris at The Haight Street Art Center. Carolyn's work in the rock poster world, paired with her galactic graphics provides a distinctive perspective that stands out within the poster community. The Center is a perfect venue to feature her new series as it is sure to inspire and engage the SF art community."
Chris Shaw, Moonalice Art Director: "Carolyn’s Ferris’ artwork and posters are a bold recipe of color, image, and typography. Her unique style has firm roots in 60’s psychedelia and traditional techniques - while also taking every advantage of modern digital methods of image creation.
Carolyn is also one of just a handful of women consistently involved in creating rock posters in the SF/Bay Area, bringing diversity to a unique legacy of art spanning over 50 years.”
Michael Horowitz, psychedelic historian and editor of works by Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary: "Carolyn Ferris, the art director and main illustrator of Timothy Leary’s Chaos and Cyber Culture (1994), acknowledged as his most important work since the 1960s, is an originator of the neo-psychedelic style that has defined visionary poster art in our time.”
Roger McNamee, American businessman, investor, venture capitalist and musician: "Carolyn Ferris has carved a brilliant niche for herself in the world of poster art, combining vibrantly surreal images with lettering that pays homage to the great Wes Wilson.
Carolyn’s paintings evoke feelings of wonder. Her exhibitions are a must see experience. With 71 posters in our series of 1,349, Carolyn Ferris ranks among the most prolific Moonalice poster artists. Moonalice fans cherish her work."
Wes Wilson, father of psychedelic poster design, first Fillmore Artist: "I've collaborated with many, but Carolyn Ferris has been my only art partner."
