Ryann was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, and has always had a love for art. She attended Auburn University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. After graduating in May of 2022, Ryann moved back home to Birmingham where she now works in youth ministry and makes art as often as possible in her free time.

Ryann’s artistic journey began during her sophomore year of college as she ventured to turn an interest in art into something more. Over the last four years, she has explored various subjects, mediums, and styles in an attempt to find her unique artistic voice. 

Her work includes a little bit of everything— from house portraits, to colorful landscapes, to abstract florals, and more. She is inspired by the beauty, structure, and vibrancy of nature. For Ryann, art has been the best form of escapism and the creative outlet that helps her make sense of the world around her. She utilizes watercolor, acrylics, and pastels to capture impressions of the natural world in various styles.
