“I let the design take shape by listening to each character, following their cues like a reporter covering a story.”
Carolyn Ferris isn’t just an artist; she’s a powerhouse whose rock posters have become legendary in the rock art scene. Her vibrant, mind-bending visuals first adorned the halls of The Fillmore and Warfield, solidifying her as a cornerstone of this artistic movement. Collaborating with icons like Timothy Leary, she painted alongside the LSD guru himself, creating art as revolutionary as his ideas.
Ferris’s journey took her to southwest Missouri, where she partnered with Wes Wilson, a legend in rock poster art. She later returned to open another art studio in Fairfax, CA, before settling further north by purchasing another home and studio.
