Inspired by Nature

Ryan DaFoe’s art reflects the hidden beauty in nature and the limitless possibilities we encounter in this world.  Each of his unique pieces, whether originating from the depths of the ocean or the tops of the mountains, beckon him to birth them into a new dimension of existence. 

His stone designs and jewelry are worn as symbols of the profound connection between humanity and nature.

His collection using woods, with heavy influence by Mother Ocean, perfectly juxtaposes love versus pain, living versus dying, hiding versus transforming, peace versus chaos. He magnificently captures these emotions in details and layers like few artists can do.

Ryan is a Santa Barbara native.  He and his brother Russell own “DaFoe Studios” located in Santa Barbara, CA.
