Chloë Ryan is an artist, robotics engineer and award-winning creative technologist.

She’s the Founder and CEO of Acrylic Robotics, a tech startup on a mission to democratize access to the $70B fine art market. At 21, she invented the world’s first robotic method to transform any image or digital illustration into a beautiful textured painting with real brushstrokes on canvas. Acrylic’s technology is poised to disrupt the archaic art market currently built to serve the top 1% — they’re bringing quality art to the general public all while allowing artists to reach new markets.

Chloë’s robots have been on tour across three continents, including as part of Adobe’s “Future of Art” exhibit at Art Basel, the Canadian National Exhibition and AWS Startup’s Generative AI Lofts tour. Chloë is the recipient of 20+ accolades and Acrylic has been named one of Canada’s Top 10 Ventures to Watch (GRIT), Websummit’s Top 10 Ventures & Collision’s Top 10 Ventures.
