Veronica Ryan (born 1956 in Plymouth, Montserrat) is a Montserrat-born British artist.

She has studied at St Albans, Bath Academy of Art, the Slade School of Art and the School for Oriental and African Studies.[1] Ryan completed a residence at Tate St Ives from 1998 to 2000, where she worked in the former studio of Barbara Hepworth.[2]

Ryan works primarily in sculpture. [3] The organic nature of Ryan’s sculptural work is often accentuated by its direct placement upon the floor, without a plinth.[4]

Ryan was awarded the Cleveland International Drawing Biennale in 1983, and a Henry Moore Foundation Award in 1988. She was represented in the Tate's show 'Sculptors and Modellers' and at solo exhibitions at the ICA (1987) and Kettle's Yard (1988).[5] Her work is in the permanent collection of the Tate Gallery.[6]
