Ryan is an artist from Union County, Monroe, North Carolina. He has been drawing since holding his first pencil. As a young aspiring artist Ryan enjoyed drawing cartoons and unique designs.
As an 8th grader at Monroe Middle School, Ryan was chosen to design 2 logos for his school pep club and graduation program. As Ryan entered Monroe High he was able to take drafting classes, which opened a whole new world of creativity. Drafting increased Ryan’s abilities as a designer and later lead him to employment as a window treatment designer.

In 2000 when Ryan received an art kit as a Christmas gift he began watercolor painting, then moving to acrylics and oils before discovering acrylic as his medium of choice.
