About Robert Ryan

Robert Ryan A lifelong resident of Indiana and father of three, Rob enjoys most the time he gets to spend with his family. Rob is a graduate of Anderson University and holds a BA in Graphic Design with a minor in Biology. His works are frequently exhibited and held in private collections both foreign and domestic. He was most recently awarded two honorable mentions at Eagle Creek’s 2006 “Renditions of Nature Exhibition” and awarded third place at the 2006 Indiana State Fair for his piece titled “Red Macaw.” Rob has always held nature in the highest regards and has worked his lifetime attempting to emulate the beauty and wonder he finds throughout the natural world. Rob found his true love of marine life while studying marine biology in the Florida Keys while attending school through Goshen College during his earliest academic years. Rob eventually went on to gain his PADI open water certification and now dives recreationally as often as possible. Rob’s subject matter stems from the images he captures first hand. When appropriate, Rob takes these images and works them into the basis for illustrations or paintings working in several media such as colored pencil, pastel, watercolor as well as oils and acrylics creating representational pieces of wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, etc." Rob is a conservation activist belonging to groups such as NRDC, the Oceanic Society and most recently REEF. Rob has long admired the work and commitment of the renowned Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Sylvia Earle as well as the literary works of Sue Hubbell and hopes to continue developing his talents as an artist while sharing his insights into the world around us.
