Facing It

2022 Dogwood Crossing Art Gallery, Miles Queensland

In these series of works document my artistic development – from an isolated creative working at a distance from my work to becoming emotionally engaged in the creative process, bringing aspects of her own story to each image created. Progressing mypractice through research and experimentation Ryan has developed an abstract style that uses marks, shapes and colour to suggest the emotions in the subjects she perceives. As an observer of people and behaviour she finds the focus of her passion turning to women and the secrets they hold in their everyday lives.
