Ryan "Henry" Ward, Seattle’s most celebrated public artist, began his career as the anti-graffiti artist. Since 2007, Henry has painted murals on over 2,000 buildings, homes, vehicles, schools, and stadiums across the USA.

Born on a Montana farm, and raised in rural Washington, his path through grief, rebellion, and resilience fueled the cartoonish style that has become well-known in the Pacific Northwest.

His quirky creations, now gracing Microsoft and Amazon’s domains, sprinkle love and levity like confetti, turning urban gray into a whimsical wonderland. Free of graffiti’s disruptive nature, Henry’s public art is transformative, turning Seattle into an open-air gallery beyond the museums.
