Ryan Tully, born in September of 1976, is a living definition of
"attention to detail." It shows in all of his works, from stunning
photorealistic paintings to crisp, professional logos. His patience,
dedication and precision is what sets him apart as a true professional in
photorealism, while at the same time, his quick humor and love for pop
culture attribute to the masterpieces that encompass his ever-expanding
portfolio of instant classics. Ryan received his Bachelor's Degree in
Graphic Communications from Cal Poly in 2000. His dad, an artist himself, has been his toughest critic and his biggest source of inspiration with his art. His dad is always quick to provide feedback and Ryan has always loved the extra challenge.

Ryan, armed with his acrylic-based paints, has been known to blow
minds on a regular basis, displaying his bright-colored pieces at local
shows and galleries in his hometown of Santa Maria, and receiving high
praises for his impeccable detail. He's an American boy with an eye on
nostalgia, and it shows in his classic paintings of American muscle cars and
kitschy diners of the 50's. You might do a double take when face to face
with his painting of a '57 Chevy, where you can almost see your reflection
in the bumper.

He's also a wine lover, being born and raised in the heart of the
Central Coast, which is known for its world-class award-winning wines and
stunningly beautiful vineyards. His wine-based works can be seen in tasting
rooms up and down the wine trail, making these places must-see spots for
wine-lovers and artists alike. Ryan has landed himself multiple projects
for businesses like the Santa Maria Valley Wine Country Association, where
his detailed wine trail maps and stunning logos for large events have
created buzz in the local wine scene.
