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.

Throughout his career, DuBack has moved from representational work to an abstract form, though he does not identify his work as abstract. Holland Cotter, art critic for the New York Times, wrote "Charles DuBack's intention is to produce an effect of work unfinished and open-ended-the effect of a painting always in the process of painting itself."
DuBack will have a solo exhibition this fall at the Portland Museum of Art.
Following the August 5th presentation there will be a catered reception by Konscious Kitchen.
