Dreamscapes – Fantasy Art – Geek Art – Portraiture

The paintings of Sarah Riley are inspired by nature, folklore, and dreams. Riley has a deep and sincere reverence for nature and the creatures that dwell there. The tradition of storytelling and making sense of the world through legends, lore, and creativity are an important part of every culture, and Riley strives to capture this narrative, story-like quality in her art. Riley’s background in Art Therapy and Ecopsychology have honed her lifelong belief that art IS therapy, and it is her ongoing goal to make art which elicits catharsis and serenity for its viewers.

Riley enjoys working in a variety of media, but her absolute favorite medium is oil paint. The buttery texture and innately vivid colors, as well as the transparent, jewel-like appearance, ensorcel her, and she finds joy and solace in every brush stroke. The familiar, repetitive motions of laying down the paint, blending and building it into meaningful imagery, feels like practicing magick.

Riley is also a proud sci-fi and fantasy geek and enjoys creating tribute portraits of her favorite fictional characters and factual artists.  

Note from the artist:  You can see my art in person at The Dancing Bird Gallery in Cumberland, WI (https://www.dancingbirdartstudio.com/), and at Brickyard Pottery & Gallery in Shell Lake, WI (https://brickyardpottery.com/) – I highly recommend you check them out if you find yourself my neck of the woods. If you have a Dreamscape or portrait in your mind that you wish to make a reality, please reach out to me via email or social media to discuss a painting commission.  Check for upcoming art shows and events on my website!
