They/Them Pronouns

Currently wandering around the pine forests of Durham, North Carolina, Rye is looking for the joy in creating art and picking up dirt samples here and there. Their true joy in life is researching and finding out stories about pigments and talking to various pigment people around the world. Their works in acrylic paints and digital illustration to draw their original characters and things that bring them joy. Bright colors and whimsical motifs are a must in their work and they hope their work brings others joy as well. They have a Bachelors in Painting from the University of North Carolina, Asheville, have completed several international artist residencies and enjoy drawing boys kissing.
