Capsule Arts Dubai have profiled me on their Journal 'Where is My Shark?' in their series introducing the selected artists for their Limited Edition Artist Prints to be launched in September. I will have 4 of my original charcoals from my Shadow & Light series : Arabic Lanterns & Shadow Leaves in the print edition.

Meet Kathryn Ryan :
Australian artist Kathryn Ryan brings ghostly luminous trees and
evocative light and shadows to life. She has been painting the South
Victorian landscapes of Australia for years. Inspired by the quality of
light, mood and atmosphere in her landscapes, she uses meticulous layers
of paint and glazes over many months to achieve remarkable depth and
luminosity, harmony and balance in her paintings.

Now that she is living in Dubai, she has begun a new series of work
responding to her environment that is inspired by the light and shadows,
and accentuates the organic and sensual nature of plant life and Arabic
lanterns in her local surroundings. Her charcoals are built up in
layers of mark making and rubbing away to leave the essence of the
evocative nature of light and shadow within her pieces.
Lantern #4 by Kathryn Ryan
Her works have been extensively exhibited in major commercial
galleries and she has been a finalist in many prestigious National Art
Prizes. Her works are held in many major Australian collections
