my vision
Creating art has been a form of therapy for me.
When I work, I am filled with a profound sense of peace
and gratitude. I love what I do so deeply that I can’t imagine anything else fulfilling my soul in the same way.
I am continually striving to improve.. learning, growing
and pushing the boundaries of my craft. I aim to create pieces that are not only beautiful and intricate but also unique, something that has never been seen before.
Working with wood is one of my greatest joys.
I hand-cut, paint, and stain each piece myself,
often using reclaimed materials. Breathing new life
into aged wood, I aim to transform it into something stunning. Each knot, texture, and color tells the story of its past
and I love honoring that history in my work.
I also enjoy incorporating a variety of unique materials,
including oxidized metals, copper, leather, shells, and river rocks, (among others) to add dimension and character to my pieces.
There are so many possibilities,
I want to try them all.
FULL OF GRATITUDE
What I create comes from my heart.
Every piece holds time, intention and a part of who I am.
I understand that my art may not be for everyone,
and that is perfectly okay.
Each piece holds a special place in my heart
and I hope that for those it resonates with,
it brings a little joy and inspiration into their lives.
Thank you, as always, for your kindness,
encouragement and support—
it truly means more to me than words can express.
Hi, I'm Ryan. I am a Texas based, self taught wood artist.
Inspired by nature and the natural beauty of the materials,
I craft various locally sourced wood to create intricate and complex mosaics.
My work has incredible depth and texture and is complementary to any decor or space.
