Fine and Applied Arts

Dave Ferry of Newington, and retired art teacher at Farmington High School, has been illustrating professionally since his 2006 retirement.  Besides his illustration he has published two works under the trademark “Ferryland” that utilize his talents as a cartoonist.

“12 Step Program To Health & Nutrition: A 2010  Calendar” by Registered Dietitian, Carol Blanchard of NYC, and illustrated by Dave is a full color calendar that presents heart healthy tips in a monthly, humorous way.  “Loose Threads: Observations of life from the slow lane and other random thoughts” by Dave, is a full color paperback and is dedicated to all Rule Followers coping with the unfair things that life throws at them, observing from the slow lane, not the passing lane on the highway of life.

Dave is enjoying his new career.  Retirement can be a time for new directions, a time to explore interests and talents. As much as he enjoyed teaching for 30 years, he is excited about exploring the prospects of a new avocation in publishing that showcases his talents as a cartoonist.
