Laura Ryan
Laura Ryan is a multi-media artist, specializing in painting and textile art.
Her artwork has been featured in publications including Pages magazine, Somerset Studio magazine, and Cloth Paper Scissors. She is a self-taught artist whose creative journey has been enriched by workshops in abstract and expressionist painting, metalworking, and printmaking. Inspired by the beauty of nature and the places she has visited and holds with fondness, her work reflects both memory and emotion. In addition to landscapes and nature-inspired pieces, she is drawn to portraits, where she captures fleeting moments in time with expressive lines and artistic gestures rather than fine details. Her art is a blend of observation and feeling, aiming to evoke the essence of her subjects rather than their exact likeness.
When demonstrating printmaking at the Riverside Art Museum, a fellow artist introduced Laura to Nuno felting -- a process of combining wool roving and silk or an open weave fabric to create a whole new, intricately textured fabric. The medium captured her heart and inspired her to develop her own technique, which she has taught throughout Southern California and Arizona.
