Oil paintings by Abbey Ryan

ABOUT

Inspired by the "A Painting a Day" movement, I started making daily paintings for my blog on 9/23/07.

Five years later, my blog has had over half a million visitors from over 100 countries. More importantly, though, painting has become my meditative time and the best part of my day. Attempting to paint every day speaks to my interest in ritual, practice, classical still life and trompe l'oeil painting, and the complexities of internet globalization. My paintings are usually sold by eBay auctions, and are in over eight hundred private and public collections around the globe.

I am fortunate to have studied with David A. Leffel at the Art Students League of New York, and this experience continues to have the greatest impact on my work.

I teach painting workshops and private painting mentoring. Read testimonials here and here.
