Ryan Kalentkowski is a printmaker and hand-colorist living in the lower Connecticut River Valley.
Through the labor of woodcut printmaking and hand-coloring, their current work examines observational, interactional and symbolic relationships to birds. Images are made by way of expressive mark-making that depict avian residents of the skies, trees and waterways near the Connecticut River, often honoring imperfections of the process. This work advocates respect and admiration for nature and the environment.
Ryan holds a BFA from Paier College of Art and works as a screen print technician by day.
