THE FISHERMAN MURAL ON GRATTAN QUAY 23/08/2017

Ryan Christenson, a Connecticut native, began his artistic journey at a young age. While working in his father's landscaping business, he discovered graffiti at 14 and was immediately drawn to the creative freedom it offered, moving beyond the constraints of traditional 'paper and pencil'. His early passion led him to join the High Impact Crew, a graffiti collective based in New Haven, solidifying his roots in this counter-cultural art form. Despite his passion for street art, he pursued a degree in horticulture at Naugatuck Valley Community College.
