Liam Ryan was born in Dublin, Ireland and grew up just outside of Detroit, Michigan where his family emigrated in the 70's. He first became interested in art by watching a family member who would sketch in his spare time. He then went on to study art at Ferris State University in Michigan and then later with the esteemed pastelist and oil painter, Daniel E. Greene in Detroit and N. Y. Ryan paints in Pastel, acrylic, and also in a mixture of both. "I like to work in a viarity of mediums, grounds, pallets and even art movements. I'll spend a good amount of time filliing the well of artistic inspiration as I like to call it. That could be different on different days. It could be studying the Anatomy of the body or looking at the art from a particular period of Art history etc". Ryan is currently living in the U. K. and his work is in many private and some corporate collections across the world. When exhibiting, Ryan will rent out venues to show his recent works. He has done so in N. Y. C., Dublin, and the U. K. His work has been generating interest recently from the public, other artists and art collectors.
