Beverly Ryan ‘s work currently includes painting, printmaking and sculpture. Her abstract and/or narrative oil paintings have been known for years. Recently, she has added metalworking and soft sculpture to her body of work. Ryan holds an MS from Columbia University and a BA from Franklin and Marshall College. She studied at the Corcoran College of Art and Design with William Christenberry, William Willis and Steve Cushner. She has had two artist residencies at The Vermont Studio Center and in 2016, participated in the Drawing Marathon with Graham Nickson at NYSS.

Ryan has shown locally, regionally and internationally. Her works have won numerous awards and are in private and corporate collections. Ryan’s most recent solo exhibit “Drone Zone” featured paintings, prints and sculpture as an installation at the Art League Gallery, Alexandria, VA. In this show she explored images of drone warfare, and her paintings referenced privacy issues as weaponized UAVs and facial recognition software become more ubiquitously present in today’s world.

Ryan teaches abstract painting, narrative painting and encaustic painting at The Art League School, Alexandria, VA. She has been a resident artist at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, Alexandria, VA, since 2001.
