After completing his art degree from the University of Minnesota in 2005, Ryan has pursued photography as a focus. While photography is still a primary focus, since the Summer of 2024, a collection of paintings inspired by travel and everyday life has begun to develop. Ryan is currently giving attention to the practice of painting as a means of slowing down and being more present with subject matter that has been meaningful to him over the years. You will notice themes of dramatic light and vignettes of the mundane.
