Abbey Ryan Durso
Hello Artist,
Welcome to Abbey Ryan Art Studio + Designs. My name is Abbey Ryan Durso and I am the lead art educator. I am so excited to start this teaching journey on my own and cannot wait to share my love for art with your children. Originally from Fort Thomas, Kentucky, I attended the University of Louisville for my Bachelors of Fine Arts in design and received a minor in Psychology. Not long after graduation I moved to Chicago to pursue a career in early education with a focus in special education & art. Today I am splitting my time pursuing marketing and teaching in my studio! I cannot wait for a great year and lets get started!

"Abbey nurtured my daughter's creativity, and taught her artistic techniques that most 3 year olds would not be exposed to. She looks forward to her class with Abbey every week! Abbey puts so much thought and preparation into each class. She is also just a delightful person who is so good with my daughter. I can't recommend Abbey enough!"
“My daughter is always very excited to attend art with Miss Abbey. She proudly shows us her beautiful creations and loves hanging them on her special art wall. Miss Abbey is not only talented, but she is amazing with typical and neurodivergent kids. You can tell she puts a lot of effort into planning their projects!"
