About the Artist:

Ryker is a queer, trans, multidisciplinary artist, writer, and storyteller whose practice spans mixed media, photography, painting, video, and digital mediums. He holds a BFA in Graphic Design from MassArt and has worked professionally in the field for over 20 years. His work extends beyond the digital and encompasses art installations, exhibitions, community-engaged art, murals, and publications.

Ryker’s process is rooted in exploring the boundaries between mediums and the boundaries between the seen and unseen, bringing the inner landscape of a visceral experience into being. He explores themes of identity, the body, nature, and what it means to embrace truth—even the truths that hide within our shadow parts. He examines the trans experience through a universal lens in order to open space for seeing trans people as people first, without a label. He invites viewers to connect with shared human experiences to create deeper awareness and connection. Ryker believes art is connection and that creativity becomes art when it can be felt, shared, and experienced by others.
