ARTIST BIO:
Ryan “Henry” Ward is one of Seattle’s most prolific artists. His whimsical characters are well-known and beloved by the residents of the Pacific Northwest. From Seattle to Paris, Henry has painted more than 500 public art installations during his fifteen year painting career.

Fighting through poverty in the streets of Seattle, he has risen to now be known as “Seattle’s Most Prolific Artist”, painting more than 2800 canvases and more than 500 murals across the country.

Henry’s goal is to promote love from his murals and canvases to your home! In hopes that every time you look at his artwork on your wall or some of his wearable art, that it brightens your day. If you’re searching for his original canvas paintings, look no further!

CRYSTAL LOUNGE ART WALK MISSION:


At the Crystal Lounge, it is an important part of our mission to build and enmesh our communities with each other. Art, science, metaphysics, healing, geology, music… These all play a part in helping develop the healing pathways in both the micro and macrocosm. As the months go on, expect the Crystal Lounge to feature a wide selection of local artists and healers whom you can be inspired by, and whom you can support. Crystal Lounge showcases all people, but preferentially serves women, POC, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented artists and healers.
