Ryan Barnes Art

Welcome to my online shop! My name is Ryan and I'm a freelance fine artist and illustrator based in the Mount Vernon-Anacortes, WA area. While creativity and the visual arts have always been a life long passion of mine, I started taking my professional artistic journey truly began when I returned to acrylic painting for therapeutic purposes. I exhibited some of that work to debut myself as an artist in the local public eye to see if I would enjoy the experience and the rest is history. Now I have had several shows, won awards, and am building a life for myself and family off of my art. I find a lot of inspiration in fantasy, mythology/stories, nature, cities, and people. My tools of the trade include acrylic paint, ink, pencil, and sometimes digital tools too.
