Raised in Northwest Indiana, Ryan Hoyda began honing his artistic skills at a very young age.  However, after high school he traded in his canvas for the written word, and it would  be sometime before he once again turned to visual expression as a creative outlet.  Many years later as a struggling artist in Los Angeles, he wanted to cover the stark white walls of his apartment with artwork that depicted vibrant color, combined with his own unique sense of style.  His creation; a truly honest approach to self exploration, demonstrated through his use of line and color.
