Ryan is a visual storyteller based in O‘ahu, whose work captures the raw beauty of the natural world through layered, mixed media compositions. A private chef by trade, his global travels—especially throughout Asia—continue to shape his perspective, blending culinary artistry with a painter’s instinct for color and texture.

Deeply influenced by the rhythms of the ocean and the quiet poetry of place, each piece is a sensory study in memory, movement, and material. Working primarily with acrylics and globally sourced natural elements, Ryan creates immersive works that blur the line between painting and sculpture.
