Original Contemporary Folk Art by Wendy Ryan

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Art Lovers, Collectors,Creative Souls
I hope you'll take a moment to check into my blog to see my new work.
If you're interested in seeing more, take a browse through my website.
If you see something that you like and it happens to be sold, just drop me a note and we can chat about a commission.

And I offer most of my new paintings on eBay if you're in the mood for an auction!

And I do appreciate every kind comment and email you send...but I'm not always the quickest in getting back to you...life is busy these days for everyone, I guess...

Music:

I listen to CBC public radio all day. The chatter on commercial stations makes me cranky.

Movies:

Eclectic tastes I suppose...

Television:

There's not a lot of time for TV, but the temptations of the Foodnetwork are irresistible!

Books:

So many...but these come to mind right away. The Wars, The Poisonwood Bible, Ordinary Love and Good Will, No Great Mischief...

Heroes:

hmmm...this is so hard...
