A native of Charlottesville, Virginia, Anna Fox Ryan made her way to Savannah, Georgia, to study illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design. There, she honed her conceptualization and design skills and eventually crossed the bridge to fine art as an oil painter. In 2008 she completed her degree and has since created a bold commentary on the effects of mass industrialization on society and the environment.
2008 was Anna Fox Ryan’s first year in the art scene. During that time she constantly painted and promoted herself. She broadened her collector base to include patrons in Europe, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta. In 2008 alone, Fox Ryan held three solo exhibitions, participated in numerous juried exhibitions and began working with international Artists Representative, Ze Santa-Rita.
Fox Ryan’s oil paintings examine the dualities of human corruption and faith. Industry is directly depicted as physical manifestations of corruption while hope and religion are revealed through symbolism to question individual perceptions, reactions and, in some cases, justifications of corrupt actions. Anna's concepts continue to evolve with current works analyzing industry's impact on health and fertility. Anna Fox Ryan currently works out of her Studio in Savannah Georgia, preparing to step out of the south and into the next phase of her career.
An Artist Reception will be held on Monday, February 1st at 5pm to kick off the month. Chef Jeffery Rodgers will be providing complimentary hor doeuvres and Casey will be behind the bar mixing up your favorite cocktails!
