Loki Ryeland

Visual Art – New Orleans

My name is Loki Ryeland, and I am a Louisiana artist who moved to Roswell, Georgia. I\'m currently working on my masters degree in mental health counseling while also being a stay-at-home dad with my two kids. In my spare time, I try to splash a bit of paint on a canvas or two! I expressed an interest in art at a young age, but upon graduating college, I forced myself into more \"expected\" career paths. Upon the birth of my first child, I feel like my entire world changed, and I decided to pursue what I loved in life. My passion for painting is one of those things. My work ranges from the dark and twisted to the fanciful and whimsical. I\'m not too worried about making an aesthetically pleasing painting -- but I embrace the horrific, macabre, strange, creepy, twisted, eerie, and dark. I suppose you could say I enjoy exposing the darker side of life.
