The event lived up to and exceeded expectations with a great turnout and plenty of positive feedback from the guests.
The setting was the perfect place in which to conduct this event as it is relatively new to the scene just like Ryan and like Ryan, is hip and cool and aesthetically sophisticated and thus an ideal setting for an art debut.
The Haven Wine Bistro is owned by the same folks who own The Spa next door and I highly recommend it and will be oft returning.
Ryan's brother Sean Adams was also in attendance. He is a wood sculpture artist specializing in Tiki themes and some of his work was on display in the outside patio area.
Professional photographer Joe Ramirez has taken some images of Ryan's work and created a beautiful slide show you can view HERE.
On a sidenote it is worth mentioning that Ryan was featured in the New Times' Spring Arts 2010 annual publication which features one of his Big Sur paintings entitled "The Birth of Spring" which is found on the upper right hand side of page 40
"Founders Fall 3000" (2008) showing an imagined
