I relocated to Summerville, SC from the San Francisco Bay Area in August of 2021 to be closer to family. I have 3 amazing sisters and many friends (many who I've known since my childhood).  I am very fortunate and blessed to have them in my life, and I am truly grateful.

I live with my three cats.  Grayson, Jackson and Charlie.

I lived in the Bay Area from 2009 to 2021 and loved the diversity there.  While in San Francisco, I worked part-time with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities as a job coach.  It was a very fulfilling time in my life. 

I grew up in the Southern California area and loved 'living' on the Southern California beaches growing up.  

I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and gender studies from Antioch University in Los Angeles in 2001.

I worked as a Behavioral Therapist with children on the spectrum in Malibu, CA for 10 plus years, and loved it.  I retired from the school district in 2007.  Since retirement, I began my art career.  

My art was on display and for sale at Snappy's Cafe in Hayward, CA for a month in 2020 and was on display and for sale at Ana Rosa's Mexican restaurant in San Leandro, CA for several years.  In addition, my art was in an art exhibit in Los Angeles, CA in 2007.

My art is for sale, and part of my profits go to ALD Connect.  Please contact me at shaneryan86@gmail.com if you're interested in purchasing any of my work. Thank you!
