Ryder loves to draw wildlife and scenery, his eye for detail allows him to capture the natural world beautifully and with precision! He has never been to an art class outside of school, he is for the most part a self taught artist who takes pride in the art he has created this far!

Ryder’s dad passed away before Ryder turned two, but he had a passion for drawing, even if it was only a side hobby. His grandpa, who has also passed away, was a very very creative man. It’s clear that this artistic talent has been passed down to Ryder, and we can’t wait to see where it takes him! We also have another relative, Michael Dumas, who is a very well-known wildlife artist—so perhaps this artistic ability truly runs in his genes!

Ryder LOVES to draw, just give him a pencil and paper and he will make beautiful landscapes and wildlife come to life with ease! He also likes woodworking and working with a lathe in his schools shop class. Although he is very new to painting, Im sure that given the opportunity he would excel at that as well! But sketching is his favorite!!
