FEATURE WALL ARTIST FOR OCTOBER IS DEBRA RILEY |
|
|
The Feature Wall in the gallery will be dedicated to the works of Debra Riley.
Debra Riley is a classical realist whose work invites viewers to slow down and discover beauty in everyday objects, familiar places, and quiet moments. Her paintings consist of still life, landscapes, figures, and portraits. They explore light, texture, and subtle details that bring fresh perspective to the familiar.
Inspired by her artist mother and shaped by her travels, Riley hopes her work encourages viewers to pause, look closely, and see the world with renewed appreciation. Come take a peak if you haven't already. |
