ABOUT ME

Ross Lanphere

He/Him

My personal works exhibit my passion for Romanticism, Theology, Cultural history, and Classical Fantasy with a focus on the beauty in human form and spirit. 

What’s my deal?

I have spent the majority of my time on our earth with art utensils in hand. From a young age there has been a sketchbook on my person for nearly every class, car ride, and family dinner. I have spent time honing my skill in art as a passion and a lifestyle, not just a hobby. I live and breath art and see it in the world around me.

I would define myself as a romantic scribe. I use art as a medium to express how I see and experience the world, As well as just a way to interact with media that peak my interest. Most of my works are not explicitly made for the purpose of being shown to others, they are made for the love of making. Please view my galleries and recognize them as a reflection of humanity and of my own love of our world.
