Riley has held a love for art ever since she saw her first cartoon. While animation is her greatest love, she also enjoys experimenting with various mediums, including gouache, watercolors, and graphite. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation from Lipscomb University, where she studied under animators from the classical Disney era of the 1990s.
Riley has four years of experience working with children, including teaching at Art of All Nations in Longview, Washington, and Jewell’s Gems Academy in Nashville. She looks forward to combining her artistic knowledge with her love of teaching. As a teacher, she enjoys connecting with and inspiring her students to express their creativity, fostering confidence in their ever-growing artistic identities.
Riley is excited about building strong, lasting relationships with her students at Children’s Art Classes. In her free time she loves horseback riding, reading, and playing board games!
