Riley returns to her native state of Maine each summer to paint, and her work is inspired by views from her Tenants Harbor studio on a tidal cove. Riley also often paints in her car, and therefore works mostly on small canvases and relishes in the confines of her Subaru "a private mobile studio." Her works are warm portrayals of her environment in New England, painted with vivid colors and a keen sensitivity toward light and shadow.
Riley began painting 20 years ago in Maine and credits her experience in photography and using 35mm lens to train her eye to limit and select her field of vision.
"The landscape was my central interest when I began to paint, using light and shadow to cut into the predicted positive image and work the negative space," Riley said.
The program includes time for questions, and a small reception also will be held.
