“Typography, color and texture.  Is there really anything else?” – Ryan Dougherty
Ryan mixes up a smoothy of these three elements because says “needs to do something.”
This technique has plagued Ryan since 2002 to help people to see art in their life that they miss.
(but don’t realize it.)

Ryan received my BFA in Graphic Design / Visual Communication from Kansas State University in Fall 1999. This invoked a real love for typography, process, balance and color study in an overlooked world.

From 2000-2012 he worked as a designer for Hallmark Cards.
Designer of licensed and non-licensed cards, paper engineering, gift wrap & party-ware, ornaments and gifts.  There were many, and continue to be identity projects – layout, CD design, logo, t-shirt and interior design.

Since leaving the corporate world, inspired everyday, he layers paper and paint and bring together elements with theme, subject and tone.
“These are the paintings of nolstalgia and comforting memory.”

Ryan lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with a loving wife and 2 beautiful children despite their contempt for their parents. (teenagers now.)
