Laurie Riley – Art of the Wild

Laurie Riley is a signature member of Artists for Conservation, an award-winning member of the International Guild of Realism, and member of Women Artists of the West.

Her astoundingly detailed work has been shown in numerous international juried shows, and in galleries in Sedona, Tubac, and Jerome, Arizona; in Seattle-area galleries and shows, and in her own gallery. Laurie’s work was featured on the cover of the June 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Association, and her pieces have appeared in several issues of Western Art Collector magazine.

Viewers remark that Laurie’s paintings depict the soul of the animal as well as the finest details of its physical appearance. Laurie strives to give the viewer an awareness that every creature is sentient. It is her intention to inspire the viewer to support the preservation of wildlife and habitat, and the right of every wild-born animal to roam free. Laurie’s patrons have remarked that when they spend time with her paintings, they develop a deep relationship with them.
