Liz Ryan is a visual chronicler based in Brooklyn, New York.

Her approach to illustration combines on-site reportage, archival research, and oral history. Though she primarily creates non-figurative work, she looks to people and their stories as primary sources to shape and humanize the end illustration.

Liz is also a member of MSCHF, an art collective engaged in critique. She was the first full-time production hire in 2020 and currently resides there as senior producer. Most recently, she executed Nothing Is Sacred, the group’s first retrospective at Daelim Museum in Seoul, South Korea.

Outside of MSCHF, Liz works as a freelance illustrator.
