Chris Riley’s art journey took a major detour in 2017 when he swapped the large, metallic background of cars and trucks for painting on canvas.
His first work was a surprise commission for his wife, Tracy. She wanted a piece of art for their living room but couldn’t find anything she liked. Returning home from work one day, Tracy discovered a beautiful painting hanging over the couch. This was the first Chris Riley original, and now a prize possession!
As a result, 18 months later Chris has successfully applied his talent to canvas, and completing and selling multiple artworks, Chris Riley Art was officially established. Since then Chris has painted a wide variety of subjects including florals, landscapes, wildlife until finally in 2021 he found the style he enjoyed creating the most with is paintings inspired by summer time.
Chris is a finalist in the 2022 Art Lovers Australia Prize.
