BIO | ARTIST STATEMENT | RESUME | EXHIBITS  My name is Ryan Foster. I was born in Erie, Illinois. As a young kid I was fascinated by art, stemming from my love of cartoons and illustration, and growing into a passion for urban art and graphic design. I spent much of my time in school drawing...on everything, but formal art training in Erie was minimal. I started painting in High School in an art class, but I'm not sure painting Metallica and skulls on everything I could get my hands on counts as an art form. I went to North Central College, in Naperville, Illinois in 2005, and to be honest, art was the last thing on my mind. Not until late into my junior year did I start to focus on art again. But, when I did I found a large part of myself that I had forgotten about in the blur of High School and College. In 2009, I graduated from North Central College with a degree in Studio Art and Interactive Media Studies. I've been fortunate enough to be a part of several art exhibits and I try to paint whenever I can in my small amount of free time. However, most of my time is consumed by my new job as the Website Coordinator for the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce.
