Ryan’s work invokes nostalgia and wrestles with the concept of memory through the figure. Through a balance of spontaneity, abstraction, and realistic care, her work attempts to visually portray how we remember people, places, and moments. What do we block out and what stands out in full detail? Ryan’s work strives to capture people who are not typically shown or who may have been forgotten. She would like to give everyday people a platform to be considered beautiful and spark a curiosity about their story.
Haylee Ryan is from Dallas, TX and has her BA in Studio Art - Painting from the University of Dallas, 2008.

In 2020, she had the honor of giving her first TEDtalk on “beauty and memory through visual art.”
