Art was instilled in me by my father and his natural talent with a pencil and a pad of paper. Art was cultivated in me by my mother as she drove me to weekly art lessons year after year. I studied art in college then left without finishing and didn't put so much as a doodle on a piece of paper for fifteen years. In 2010 I took it up again and decided to teach myself to paint. Now I'm ready to pursue that which has been deeply ingrained in my heart since about 1985. I hope you find something you like, something that delights you, something that inspires you. - Ryan
