Ryan Flynn is a mixed media artist with a focus on paper collage. They create analog collages using vintage magazines, comics, and books.

Their process is intuitive, driven by color, and chaotic. They chose the name Sacred Chaos Art because collage helps them sort through their emotions and experiences in a deeply personal way. They started collaging 3 years ago and have created over 200 original works. Their work features themes of mental illness, disability, queer identity, sexuality, capitalism, and society. Collage is one of their favorite mediums because cutting up images is a rejection of society’s viewpoint. It breaks images down and rebuilds them to reflect a different worldview and experiences. The use of simple, secondhand paper is a rejection of the hierarchy and exclusion often found in the art world.
