Rita Ryan

I have always appreciated art since I was a young child and I thank my parents for encouraging this by frequent trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts in NYC as a child and allowing me to draw with John Gnagy on Saturday mornings while all my friends were out side playing.

I have studied with Dennis Aubrey,. Alvaro Castegnetta, Marian Alstad, Carol Brody and others who have influenced my style and my love of art.. My work has been accepted in various juried art shows in Minnesota;  is displayed in private collections throughout the US and France: and my work has been exhibited numerous times at the Lakeville Art Center.  I am a member of the Minnesota Watercolor Society.

My residence is in Florida for part of the winter and Minnesota for fall spring and summer.

I feel both honored and blessed to have such a supportive husband Dan, wonderful family, and many terrific friends who have encouraged me to jump into art with both feet..  Thank you.
