Stephanie Ryan is a watercolor artist that loves the Northern community and environment that inspire her work!
Her colorful, stylized artwork highlights the wild and beautiful landscapes of Alaska and the North. Northern lights, Glacier Bay iceberg inlets, salmon runs and cozy cabins – Stephanie paints these as she sees them and loves that creating art from these experiences may connect others to these same places that have inspired her.
Stephanie and her husband have lived in the North for over 20 years and opened a small art gallery called Boreal Artworks in Skagway in 2020. They also own a small yarn business called Aurora Yarns of Alaska, where they continue to work at designing unique hand-dyed yarn colors inspired by their environment and Stephanie’s art.
She has created art for backpacks, yoga mats, wool scarves, book covers, as well as for friends and family as memories of important places, allowing her to share her art and the northern landscape in new forms! She hopes her paintings bring light and happiness to people, while also drawing attention and inspiration to conserve those places that need it most.
Stephanie respectfully acknowledges that she lives and works within the Traditional Territories of the Lingít Aaní in Jilḵoot Ḵwáan & Jilḵáat Ḵwáan.
