Ryker is a queer trans man, multidisciplinary artist and poet whose practice spans mixed media, photography, painting and digital art. He holds a BFA in Graphic Design from MassArt and has worked professionally in the field for over 20 years. His creative work extends beyond the studio, encompassing community-engagement installations, murals, publications and group exhibitions. Ryker’s process—built on layering, subtraction and the interplay of diverse materials—examines transformation as both a visual and emotional experience. His work is rooted in themes of identity, the trans experience, queerness and the human condition. Through his art, Ryker creates opportunities for self-discovery and connection, inviting viewers to reflect on their inner landscapes. He believes in art’s power to heal, transform and create meaningful connections—both within communities and on a personal level. His work seeks to empower others to explore new dimensions of identity and reimagine their place in the world
