Just a visual artist coming out of hibernation; based in New Orleans, LA.
After years of creating but storing away drawings, paintings, and photographs, Ryan has finally decided to share his artwork with the hope of sparking a desire to explore new pieces. Medium is unimportant to Ryan; you will find that he explores both the literal and the abstract through instant film, ink, and Conté to collage, 35mm & 120 film, and tea. He has not and will not establish what his series are meant to represent - that is best left to the viewer’s interpretation.
Ryan received his Bachelor’s of Fine Art with a concentration in Photography from Louisiana State University. If it were not for the following mentors, he would have never explored all that he has experienced with such passion: Michael Book, Michael Crespo, Jamie Baldridge, Tom Neff, Gaither Pope, Chris Johns, and Ed Smith.
