Introducing Perryn Ryan Ford
Perryn Ryan Ford is a contemporary figurative illustrator and painter whose work honors the beautiful landscape of the female form.
Perryn’s art is an evocative celebration of movement. Abstract shapes and expressive lines intertwine and mingle together to create surrealist forms, bodies that flow across the page with ease. The figure—focused compositions that Perryn creates serve as a mirror, reflecting into the world her personal, spiritual, and emotional growth.
Creating art has helped Perryn to reconnect with herself, strengthening her intuitive, introspective, and empathetic gifts. As a result, she uses her art to visually communicate with her audience the importance of fostering greater connection and community within ourselves and with the world around us.
Inspired by analogous color stories often found in nature, Perryn also draws inspiration from her former career as a technical designer in the fashion industry. Constructing garments that accentuate the natural peaks and valleys of the female form, has informed the way she deconstructs and reassembles the female figures in her work – the shapes representing each part of a beautiful garment, and the lines are the threads that hold everything together.
