Pastel landscapes by Contemporary realist painter VICTORIA RYAN have become 
some of the most sought after works of fine art across North America and internationally.
Collectors and admirers are drawn to RYAN’s use of color, light and ability to transform
the way we perceive even the most subtle and overlooked landscape details by portraying
 the true visual poetry that lies within them. RYAN lives and works in Northern California 
and is particularly inspired by the marshlands, vineyards and farm properties that pepper
 the landscape there and her depictions are soaked in a sense of dreamlike reality.
 Lucid dreams and the heightened sense of reality that is experienced in those 
and similar states of consciousness and the inexplicable feelings and sensations that accompany
 those experiences are the cornerstone of her artistic mission. 

RYAN studied art at Otis Art Institute, Art Center College of Design and the highly regarded
 California State University at Long Beach Fine Arts Department, where she earned a B.F.A. in Painting 
and Drawing in 1982. Her works were immediately noticed by curators and collectors alike for her dynamic
 and inspiring pallette, her unique approach to landscape painting, and her mastery of technique 
which she attributes to her traditional academic training in the arts and her respect for the formal elements 
of craftsmanship. These attributes give her art a timeless quality. 

RYAN’s current focus is working with soft pastels on various archival surfaces. She states that nothing
 compares to the richness in color that can be achieved with the medium of soft pastel 
or provide her with the level of spontanaeity that they provide her. She works with several commercial brands 
as well as homemade varieties from the butter-like Unison pastels from the UK to Art Spectrum, Rembrandt 
and Sennelier to name a few. Her favorite surfaces to work on are LeCarte
 and Wallis papers as well as prepared boards.
 Layer upon layer of color is applied and some blending is achieved using fingers, cotton and blending tools. 
Color is pushed to the edge of realism to straddle the line between reality and dream imagry 
or what she would describe as a heightened sense of reality as we perceive it.
