Meet The Team

Rebecca Larson

Art Consultant

An Idaho native, Rebecca was born into the art world. Raised within the Fine Arts Department at Idaho State University, a result of her mother serving as chair of the department, Rebecca developed a creative sense from an early age. After receiving a degree in Theater Arts and Dance, Rebecca moved to New York City where she pursued all forms of performance art, while also nurturing her passion for photography. After 13 years living in the urban jungle, Rebecca returned to Idaho to be closer to family and return to the mountain life she's always loved. 

"Sun Valley has always been this amazing community full of creative energy. There is nowhere else in Idaho I would rather live and work. My love for nature and the arts makes this place perfect for those looking to enjoy a simple life filled with beauty and creative connections."

Tara Ryan

Senior Art Consultant

Tara grew up in Ontario, Canada, and moved to a mountain town "for a winter" in 2003. 

“I love everything about the mountains and when I'm not in the Gallery I'm out exploring or painting them. I studied Art and Marketing in College and have worked in those fields for the majority of my career. Seeing how a particular painting can overwhelm the viewer with pure joy is one of my favourite things about being an Art Consultant.” 

Drink of Choice: A Dusty's Voyager is a great way to end the ski day
