Right Relationship Project
[RRp]
About Anna ~ the Project ~ the Vision. 

Hey! My name is Anna Fox Ryan and I'm the Human exploring through the Right Relationship Project, and an ambassador of living in Right Relationship.

Our purpose here is to document our explorations, model what it can look like, and provide resources and connections to support you in your own life of Right Relationship.  

Right Relationship Project is a combination of art, inquiry, community, and documentation along the pursuit of right-relationship. RRp isn't claiming to have or know a Right way, but rather we are here to artfully and contemplayfully dissect the concept of what is "right", and how presence, flexibility, and emergence converge to bring us home to the now moment. 

Now, let's be clear. I'm not saying I have it all figured out (that would be hilarious). I have, however, done a ton of my inner work, I'm sharing that work here with you, and I am here to allow myself to be seen on the journey (learning edges included) as I endeavor toward a life of Right Relationship.

​I'm ready to do what I can to create RR

I'm a professional artist with a fancy degree, and have been painting about energy and power dynamics since 2007. Sprinkle in years of studying and practicing shamanic energy medicine, studies in psychology, and a fierce drive to serve the big picture (evolution of consciousness) and we have arrived here, The Right Relationship Project.

To me, Right Relation means

• Integrity, 
• Kindness,
• Compassion,
• Truth,
• Purpose,
  
• Realistic & divine design of self, action, and connections (genuine alignment & harmony, not the fake stuff),
• Vitality (instead of suppression, repression, oppression)
• That settled inner peace, that might (for the love of god) manifest as external peace or global peace.
• Appropriate Boundaries
  

• ​​Authentic Expression
• Creativity
• Flow
• genuine community (

Right relationship is a concept & Consciousness, a core element in Buddhism, Peruvian energy medicine, the Celtic origins of my bloodline, and many indigenous cultures cross the world. Right Relationship, whatever the language or word, is a universal energy and homing beacon, an unchangeable reverberation from original source calling us to the harmonious relationships we are capable of and meant to have with all creation. This is what I wish to grow.

This website is a place to document the exploration and embodiment of right relationship that I seek and share with my community to live and share in the life and art beyond the digital web, and into the physical and energetic networks of the human experience. 

My intent is that the Right Relationship Project will

​support inspired education of mental, emotional and relational health using arts of all forms as our primary modality. RRP serve as a container for integral growth including art, teachings, articles, and unique growth experiences. With this emphasis on integration we aim to make beauty functional, with function in service of an interconnected "beauty" in all moments of experience.

RRP is a newborn as of Spring Equinox 2022. In time, we will offer resources and referrals to celebrate our fellow artists, healers and visionaries. I envision an abundance of collaboration that is healthy, balanced, grounded and inspired. I have a vision, with a plan forming beneath my feet as I walk. I welcome this emergent process, with the Project assisting in calling in those right partners who properly align in right relationship to our purpose — to serve the evolution of consciousness on our planet in service of the highest good for all, all that is and all that may become.

May it be beautiful. May it be so.

in depth with Anna Fox Ryan

my Relationship with Learning
I'm insatiably curious about the human experience. This has led me to independently study psychology, consciousness development, authentic communication, feminine & masculine polarity and integration, and collaborative leadership. That’s just the top of the list.

Human energy fascinates me. I have been researching its movement within body, mind and relationships for the past decade, especially in the fields of psychology and energy medicine. As an artist I have been able to visualize energy movement and document my experiences in physical, painted forms, communicating beyond the limit of words.

I spent two years studying shamanic energy medicine with Alberto Villdolo Ph.D. and the gifted Shamanic practitioners at the Four Winds Society Light Body School. I spent over 3 years co-leading an international conscious women’s group.  
I’ve been contributing to the University of Virginia’s graduate psychology department since age 13 as a participant in the Kliff Project which studies the relationships of kids and how their adult lives later reflect early familial and social patterns. As a result I have been assessing my relationship dynamics at a graduate level for 20+ years.

Today I combine these experiences and many more to guide individuals and groups in understanding their own energy dynamics and activating their authentic expressions of power and creativity. This can support any and every aspect of life. It can create desired changes and sustainable progress. I share this work through classes, speaking, and individual coaching.

my Art History/Herstory
My paintings and drawings have examined the pathways of connection and separation in relationships. I've presented on oil painting, materials and practices over 150 times at over 20 colleges, universities and art organizations across the country. 

From 2018 to 2019 I was the Program Director, Chief Curator and a permanent artist in residence at the Artist Residency in Kingman, Arizona.
I was awarded a year long artist residency with ArtHub in September 2017. During my time with ArtHub I expanded the program by bringing artist lectures to the local high school and hosting events for the local art community. During the inaugural semester of the new program, ArtHub reached over 200 students through class visits and field trips hosted at artist's studios. I advised on the merger between ArtHub and the local arts center, working with a team to establish an art education program that continues to thrive today.

In 2016 I was juried into a residency with visionary artists Alex Grey & Allyson Grey at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. In 2014 I attended the Barnes Artist Residency in Umbria Italy (it was delicious).In 2013 my paintings were presented by Neiman Marcus in King of Prussia Pennsylvania. My work was exhibited in Provincetown Art Museum in 2016 and 2017. 

I earned my BFA in painting and illustration from Savannah College of Art & Design in 2008 and have been a professional artist since. I'm happy to say that my work hangs in collections of prominent individuals and institutions throughout the US and Europe. I lovingly refer to my collectors as "guardians". Each piece has its own spirit and when a guardian brings a painting into their home it is the start of a relationship and self discovery.
In 2020 I returned to live in the country outside my hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia.
