Linda Ryan of Linda Ryan Designs, a former Mauiian returned after 20 years away. She was in Santa Barbara, California for many years and now is excited to be back in Maui with her husband Ricky. Linda began painting in earnest in 1995 studying under various artists, Rick Stich, Ken Auster, Michael Drury and James Armstrong. Her greeting card line, each a frameable piece of art in themselves, gained wide acceptance and she became known for custom, corporate design cards, including unique invitations.  Her larger original oil and watercolor paintings have earned her numerous awards and are collected by individuals and businesses.  In particular, she is the featured artist for all the “Habit Restaurants” across the country. Large scale prints of her art are focal points in the restaurants and have been made available for any admirer via her website, along with her greeting card sets. Linda is excited to be a Maui artist again, painting Maui landscapes, cloudscapes, and figurative pieces in this new chapter of life. Her most recent pieces can be seen under the tab "Maui Days and Beyond". She welcomes visits to her studio in Kahana and inquiries about commissioned pieces. She is also available for private and group lessons .
