Vanessa Ryan

I am abstract artist with a painterly background, and I use acrylics to achieve my vibrant visions. I layer colors with a traditional approach of brushwork and paint, infusing my canvases with kinetic exuberance and imperfect, yet intentional, intersections of underpainted lines. My art pulses with optimism, inviting onlookers to peer through layers of expression to uncover emotional depth and the mysteries I weave into each piece.
