Born somewhere and raised in various places, Eva Ryan is a self-taught mixed media artist primarily working with graphite and ink. Ryan has shown her work both locally and nationally, she is a Resident Artist at the HUD Gallery in Ventura, California, and a member of the Buenaventura Art Association. She converges traditional drawing mediums with contemporary skepticism and presentation. Greatly influenced by her affinity for birds, her excess emotional baggage and past existential crisis, she poignantly observes and openly questions moral, societal norms and "big picture" ideas that chokehold modern day society. Although often heavy in terms of subject matter,  Ryan's work is beautifully graphic, laboriously detailed and presented with nerve.
