Creativity meets Nature
Bring Joy and Inspiration into your world with the vibrant expressionist art of Donald Ryker.
My Philosophy of Art
Visual Art is a creative challenge for the viewer. Materials such as acrylic, pigment, oils, clay, marble, and metal, are formed in a fashion that suggests imagery and emotion. In their chosen style, each artist decides how much of that image they reveal and how much the viewer will interpret. I really like that Expressionist and Impressionist art ask the brain to engage, forming a connection between artist and viewer. This kind of artwork will resonate with people who want inspiration in their lives.
My expressionist style uses free brush stoke, color, and texture to inspire a feeling of vitality and celebration. The unique luminous impasto glaze layers I paint draw the eye from across the room and then hold the gaze on details. I use clear bold colors creatively to evoke positivity and vitality in my paintings of nature.
We are all human beings connecting with the world around us. My goal is to bring nature, inspiration, and joy into your space.
