Ryan Rakhshan

Ryan received his BA in art history and philosophy from Hood College in 2011. After teaching at VisArts from 2011 through 2014 he spent a year as an artist in residence at Brockway Center for Arts and Technology in 2015. After brief stints as a used car dealer, an industrial kiln loader, and a production potter, he has returned to teach at VisArts. Ryan is currently an MFA candidate at Hood College. His work is inspired by the absurdity of human existence in a society that seems to have lost its grip on reality and morality.
