BIO

Ryan Russell Ward is a visual artist living and working in Long Beach CA His current body of work centers on potted flowers, using them as a vehicle to explore contrast, impermanence, and immediacy. With bold, gestural marks and sharp tonal shifts, the pieces capture the fleeting energy of living things held within still forms. Each piece balances delicacy with urgency—blending raw, expressive strokes with the quiet symbolism of domestic flora.
