A work in progress of a website, previously located at www.raw.rip

My name is Riley! Middle name Ann, without an E. I’ve been an artist, innovator, and inventor my whole life. Life has been a wild ride, time, whatever you prefer to call it. I’ve been more things than I care to count online, and turning over the leaf of genuinely posting my best works as an artist online feels like a start. This is merely the foreword to a few reasons I want to bother to share my work. Between now and then; I’ve innovated within music by sharing some of my best ideas in the greatest of ways, I’ve furthered more than a few conversations philosophically through speaking to those that teach, I’ve illustrated numerous concepts within art (abstract and otherwise), and I’ve learned enough to recognize how fluid our conversations through time are in the most beautiful capacity. This helped me find beauty in everything, more than that which mankind has learned to create.

I don’t know what I’d call my artistic perspective, and I’ve already tried fitting a square through a circle, yet I do know that I want my artwork to be visible. I currently have some rather experimental and visually captivating works, and I still find that I’m most excited by what I’ve yet to illustrate. Some of the mediums I work with at this point within the arts of design and illustration are watercolours; liquid acrylic paint; airbrushing; and the expansion of various artistic mediums! I’m excited to be able to continue sharing my work by starting an organization and community, and provide others with opportunity through the expansion of available tool, techniques, and mediums of self-expression and colors available to do so. Personally, as I’ve gotten older, I recognize that I have expanded ideas to share. I look forward to getting to know the perspectives of others online ! While I don’t fit the archetype of a lifelong inventor and artist, I look forward to sharing my work all the same. -Riley Ann W.
