Artists:: Ryan Jaenke
Ryan Jaenke, a native Cleveland west-sider, grew up influenced by skateboarding and graffiti, effectively ending a future in scholastic sports. Ryan currently serves on the Board of Trustees at Steve's Lunch and paints in his spare time. Ryan's paintings have been seen on brick and on gallery walls throughout the Forest City, most notably at West 25th and Church, on Cleveland's near-west side. He draws inspiration from Cleveland's main thoroughfares, storefronts, and alleyways. As a dedicated archivist of local signage, Ryan hopes to someday complete a definitive collection of anthropomorphic home appliances and foodstuffs.
