A.E.Ryan recent work

In June, 2002, I was a guest at the Fundacion Valparaiso (an artist's colony) in Mojacar, Spain for a month. My 17 lb. box of supplies sent a month before my arrival never materialized. So, I was forced to scavenge usable supplies with which to work (like paprika and saffron for red-yellow hues) or depend on the generosity of strangers. It turned out to be really fortuitous, and very revealing, as it forced me to reign in my excesses (of materials) and focus much more clearly on pure art making. People there started saving their wrappers and such for me to use, and by the end of our tenure there, my studio was, by far, the most congested (and messy). It was a truly productive and fun time!
