During Ryan's early education he focused primarily on math and science; that was, until he picked up a camera. Throughout his earlier mental health struggles, Ryan found solace in taking photos and turned his attention towards the arts.  He began with photography but quickly expanded into a multitude of mediums.  When considering work, he lets the concept define the medium instead of the medium constraining the concept.  His fondness of math and science has not abated but instead plays an important role in his approach and execution of ideas.  Ryan continues to pursue new ways of combing and displaying mediums in his work.
