A native New Yorker living and working for many years in the silvery light and rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands. In 2002 he was granted residency status based on my importance to the culture of The Netherlands. In 2021 he became a Dutch citizen. Here are some quotes by Michael Ryan:
My working day begins early with yoga and a long walking meditation.
With my mind and body united and focussed in the moment I’m prepared to express myself creatively back in the studio.
Emails, news, internet is for later, after I’ve painted all morning.
My subjects are found at home and close to home as well as in my travels.
In my connection with the world before me.
There is beauty everywhere when the mind is still and the senses fully open.
