Marianne Ferm studies the movement of water in the natural world and is interested most specifically in expressing the energy of turbulent seas and waterfalls. She uses traditional aquatint, etching and embossing techniques, drawing or painting directly onto the etching plate where she contrasts passages of fine detail with spontaneous marks, splashes and sprays to capture the earth’s energy.
She is increasingly concerned by the often destructive imprint water makes on the natural and manmade structures as global warming increases. In her Next-the-Oceans series she depicts both the compelling beauty and destructive power of the oceans as they meet in the Southern Hemisphere of the Cape coast. Ferm has regularly exhibited since 2010, both nationally and internationally in the USA, Japan and Australia. Recent exhibitions have included the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions in 2019,2021 and 2024, RE Originals and International Exhibitions, and Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair. Her work is held in the collections of His Majesty the King, the V&A, the British Museum, the Ashmolean Museum, Clifford Chance and in numerous private collections. Ferm is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers, a member of LOOP artists and Artichoke Printmakers Studio.
