Come Watch a Seattle Artist in Action!
Date: May 26th , 2011
Twirl Cafe (2111 Queen Anne Ave N, Seattle) is excited to announce that Seattle’s famed public muralist, Ryan Henry Ward, will paint LIVE at Twirl Cafe on Monday June 6th between 12PM and 5PM. Ryan Henry Ward’s whimsical and animal-themed art murals can be seen throughout the city in popular neighborhoods like Wallingford, Ballard, Capitol Hill, and SODO.
Twirl Cafe invites the media, elementary schools and preschools to watch him paint LIVE here in the cafe. Although the general public can drop by anytime, we are scheduling visits in 15-30 minute blocks for group visits. If you are interested, please contact Rebecca at info@twirlcafe.com to schedule an appointment.
Our play area will be closed during this time, but the cafe will remain open for coffee and lunch as usual.
Who is Ryan Henry Ward?
Ryan graduated with a degree in Art, Writing and Storytelling for Children from Fairhaven College in Western Washington. It was at Fairhaven that he began to focus on his writing, theatre crafts and painting. He has written and illustrated several books for loved ones, as well as illustrated children’s books authored and published by others.
Since June of 2008, Ryan has completed over 110 murals, and it is this body of work that he has become most famous for. Previous to becoming a public muralist, he had painted dozens of murals in private residences around the Pacific Northwest. He has created works in India and Thailand, as well as four murals in the Dominican Republic. Selling over 400 original canvases in Seattle over the past couple of years, Ryan's vision of creating primitive images with a dream like surreal quality has come to fruition... He wants the natural rawness of the painting process to show through his balanced, bright, and whimsical work.
