Ryn Clarke

I am a visual artist, photographer and educator from Cleveland, Ohio. I embrace both my iPhone and digital SLR cameras and consider it a gift to be able to share what I have learned. Besides leading iPhone workshops around the country, I also experiment with different photographic techniques, including photopolymer gravure, encaustic & hand-colored photographic prints. My work is often described as a "wabi-sabi" approach to photography.
My hope is to draw the viewer into the mysterious lighting and emotional atmospheres created in my images.
My work is held in various galleries, private collections and corporate and medical permanent collections throughout the United States.
